Republican Ron DeSantis had a fiery response Saturday to the flap over him calling his Democratic opponent for governor Andrew Gillum by his first name at two statewide debates.

“He called a me a dog at the debate,” DeSantis said after Fox News 13 Tampa reporter Jennifer Holton asked him about the issue. “Did you watch that?”

“So what, he has his own standard, and I have a different standard? … OK, fine. Crooked Mayor Gillum, how about that? He took bribes,’’ DeSantis continued. “How about failed Mayor Gillum? He has the highest crime in Tallahassee, the highest number of murders in history.”

Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, complained about DeSantis using his first name at rally on Thursday. During the debates, Gillum called DeSantis either “congressman” or “Mr. DeSantis.”

Dogs are much more useful than DeSantis.

5. The Trumpists are all about projection

6. Be glad he can't call you a ni**er.

If being called a dog hurts you so bad, that'd really leave a mark.

[RockRaven]

7. So even if he did call you a dog; do you deserve that moniker? b/c you didn't refute that you do...

and, well... that's kind of the point, isn't it?

You are a corrupt pustule on the ass of Florida, and everyone knows it.

[DRoseDARs]

14. No he didn't and video proves that but you stopped short of calling him a n*gger on live television.

Go find the nearest pool of pigshit and go drown yourself in it.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

20. he also does NOT have the high crime rate that DeSantis claimes.

Statistics prove the the crime rate has DECREASED under Gillum.

And Tallahassee does NOT have the highest murder rate. Neither in the nation nor in the history of Tally.

DeSantis is a liar. But that's not new. He's always been a liar.
