"I'm simply saying the racists believe he's a racist." Best killing blow of the year.

"The racists believe he's a racist." Describes Trump perfectly as well.

"I'm not calling him a racist, I'm saying the racists think he's a racist"

YOU CAN DO THAT???

[acciousername]

I'm not even an American but please _vote and save your country, America!!_

I watched the highlights of that debate and Gillum mopped the floor, walls, ceilings, doors, windows, toilets, urinals, basically the entire center with his DeSantis's ass.  He was getting crushed so bad he looked like he was on the verge of throwing up half the time.

I don't think I've ever heard such an eloquent burn in my life. I was so surprised! 👏

If you have enough time to go on social media you can make the time to go vote and save your country and yourself.
Go vote.

It’s the Florida Governor’s race, not the Senate race. Just ask a Floridian.

PS I voted for Gillum. #BringItHome

I like this Gillum guy. Very well-spoken, gets his point across without getting heated. Granted, that's probably the standard we should hold for all our politicians, but still...

[jonathandehchoantoine]

America please be the America you should be

[MattWensley]

Do we have a new Obama here? That's some class right there

I loved it when Mayor Gillum was repeatedly told that Tallahassee was a dangerous city and he responded by saying that he should be happy not winning because he would be in danger! Hahahaha! I am paraphrasing and would be grateful for anyone who can get that quote from the Miami debate last night. And I live in Florida in a 80+% republican county and I voted early today and I was in line for more than an hour!!! When I voted in the primary's, I waited at most, 2 minutes. 🌴🔆🌊🌴🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸♿️ #VoteThemOut and #TimesUp #TheBlueWaveIsbComing !!! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

oh hot damn.
oh my Lawd.
what a punchline!!!

[KennedyNgugik]

Jeeez, you can practically watch his face turn pale as his soul deserts him, Its like Gillum snapped him into Gollum

[xpaige]

I love Gillum’s Grandma. I hope Floridians have the good sense to vote for him

[victoriabaker]

The only answer to all questions right now is Vote, Vote, and nothing but the Vote.

My dad had a different version of that saying. It was "If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps the loudest is the one that got hit." It means that if you throw a wild accusation (e.g., "Whoever did this must have a terrible mother.") into a group of people and one person gets unusually upset by it (e.g., "Don't talk about my mother that way!"), that's the guilty person.

[LuCKyDuCKy]

I voted here in #Florida. Get out & vote everyone!!!

[CptFugu]

"The racists think he's a racist" Aw, snap. Someone got powned.
