DeSantis' Debate Tapes Leaked, Florida Republicans React.

Newly obtained video footage of Ron DeSantis' 2018 debate prep shows the then-gubernatorial candidate and his advisers discussing how to handle backlash over a comment he made urging Florida voters not to "monkey this up" by embracing a socialist agenda. DeSantis compared the issue to a "mini version of Kavanaugh" and said he had to come at it "full throttle" to avoid appearing weak. The footage also shows DeSantis downplaying a comment made by a right-wing author that was criticized as racist and his wife attempting to explain the "monkey" comment by saying he had been reading a children's book to their kids.
