Democrat Andrew Gillum Target of Racist Robocalls Sponsored by Neo-Nazi Group
01 September 18
n Idaho-based neo-Nazi group is sponsoring racist robocalls made to Democratic voters in Florida mocking Andrew Gillum, the first African American to win a major party nomination for Florida governor, with jungle noises playing in the background, the Tallahassee Democrat reports.
Why it matters: These automated calls come days after GOP nominee Ron DeSantis called Gillum an "articulate" spokesman for socialism and warned Florida's voters not to "monkey up" their finances. DeSantis' campaign denounced the calls and continues to push back against accusations of racism regarding his comments.
