DeSantis keeps referring to Gillum as "Andrew".




YES

I listened to the whole Gillum/DeSantis debate wondering why Rudy Giuliani is still "Mr. Mayor" 20 years later but a black man is "Andrew" when he's currently mayor of Florida's capital citySeth Abramson added,

As a person who deployed to a combat zone as a senior aid man supporting an Infantry Company (A 2/508th INF ABN). I take issue with a navy lawyer talking about being down range. My expectation is at best he was a “FOBit Hobbit” or in another Era a Saigon Commando. As one soldier once said “A REMF is anyone behind me”

He would usually only refer to Obama by his first name and almost never as President. Which is the only reason I call Trump, Donny when I write about him.
