Laura Ingraham Says Ron DeSantis Should 'Demand Apology' From Opponent

Florida gubernatorial Republican candidate Representative Ron DeSantis said Wednesday that if elected, his African-American Democratic opponent, Andrew Gillum, would “monkey” up the state. Republicans and Democrats alike denounced the statement, saying that even if it wasn’t intended as a racial slur, DeSantis should apologize.

But on Thursday morning, Fox News host Laura Ingraham said that DeSantis should “demand an apology” from Gillum “for falsely accusing him of racism.”

During an interview with DeSantis on her radio show, she imparted her advice on the candidate, “You know what I'd do? I'd demand an apology of him. That's what I would do,” Ingraham said. “‘You want me to apologize? You apologize for falsely accusing someone of racism to avoid a debate on the issues."’ I'd turn it right around on them. “‘You should apologize because it's pathetic to try to turn this into some kind of racial litmus test.’”


No shock this rich, racist white woman would demand this.
