Race For Governor
Disgustingly Racist Robocall Goes Out Against Andrew Gillum In Florida
A white supremacist website in Idaho is sending out an extremely racist robocall against Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum.
Voters in Florida re- ceived the robocall on Tues- day, and HuffPost obtained audio of the recording. Speaking in an exaggerated minstrel dialect, an actor pretends to be Gillum, say- ing: “Well hello there. I is the Negro Andrew Gillum, and I be asking you to make me governor of this here state of Florida.”
Minstrel music plays in the background, and a mon- key screeches occasionally to refer to Gillum, who is the mayor of Tallahassee.
The ad says Gillum’s

health care plan will be quite cheap, because he’ll just give chicken feet to people as medicine. It talks about how Jewish people are going to vote for him, because Jews are “the ones that been put- ting Negroes in charge over the white folk, just like they done after the Civil War.”
HuffPost reader Rusty Gordon noted that the music in the background of the ad appears to be from “Amos ‘n’ Andy,” the contro- versial ― and popular ― radio and television show that relied on racial stereo- types.
At the end of the robo- call, a disclaimer says it was paid for by The Road To Power, a white supremacist website and podcast based in Idaho that sent out a sim- ilar call against Gillum in August, when he was run- ning in the Democratic pri- mary.
The group has been linked to racist robocalls in Virginia, Oregon, California, Idaho, Iowa and Pennsylva- nia
