Gillum targeted by new racist robocall in Florida

A racist robocall that targets Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum is dialing up Florida voters, according to NBC News.

"Well hello there. I is the negro Andrew Gillum and I'll be askin’ you to make me governor of this here state of Florida," a man impersonating Gillum in a minstrel-stye dialect says, according to audio obtained by NBC News.

“My state opponent, who done call me monkey, is doin' a lot of hollerin’ about how ‘spensive my plans for health care be,” the voice adds.

NBC News reported it has not been able to determine who paid for the robocall.

He deserves to be known to all for his wonderful human size. How he ever has lived this long I'll never know.
