Kate Middleon Cradles Prince Louis in Rare (and Adorable!) Photo of Son

Posted on November 10, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Brace yourselves, celebrity gossip lovers. It’s about to get really doggone cute in here! For the first time since the christening of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s third child in July, a new photo of the six-month-old Royal Baby has been released to the public. In the image down below – which has gone viral for very understandable and adorable reasons – little Louis grabs hold of the hand of his grandfather, Prince Charles. The scene first appeared in the BBC One documentary, Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70 . As you’re about to see, Middleton is all smiles in a navy-and-white polka-dot dress as she cradles a baby who looks to have much darker hair than siblings George and Charlotte. This isn’t the clearest image of Louis himself, of course, but we’ll take what we can get when it comes to this special cutie… Kate and William are arguably the most famous parents on the planet. They welcomed Prince George on July 22, 2013 and then his sister on May 2, 2015. Louis then entered this familial picture on April 23 of this year. We’re not about to compare the children or anything, but it does look like each was blessed with a pair of very pinch-worthy cheeks. In the aforementioned documentary, meanwhile, William talks openly his father, stating that Prince Charles is “brilliant” with his grandchildren. It’s an unusual glimpse into the most fascinating and often-discussed family in the world. At one point in the special, William also says he wishes that his dad would slow down enough to be able to spare more time for them. “It’s something I’m working more heavily on, put it that way,” Williamt tells BBC One this week, adding: “I think he does have time for it, but I would like him to have more time with the children.” Charles’ wife, Camilla, also chimed in on this topic. She said the following about her husband and how he acts with the young people close in his life: “He will get down on his knees and crawl about with them for hours, you know making funny noises and laughing and my grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him. “He reads Harry Potter and he can do all the different voices and I think children really appreciate that.” On a related note, Charles is about to become a grandfather for the fourth time because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will welcome their first kid in the spring. (It’s true! Meghan Markle is pregnant ! Just in case you hadn’t heard somehow.) We don’t know whether Meghan and Harry will have a boy or a girl, but we hear she is due on May 2, 2019. Indeed, that would mean she would share a birthday with cousin Charlotte. How cool would that be?!? View Slideshow: Kate Middleton Baby Name: What’s the New Prince’s Royal Moniker?

5 Things We Learned From The Midterm Elections

Posted on November 7, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

B lack candidates were instrumental in helping the Democrats win the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, enabling Democrats to end one-party rule and turn up the heat on President Donald Trump . But it was a mixed result, with disappointments in places like Florida where Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum lost in a close race for governor. At the same time, several Black candidates made history, like Ayanna Pressley who become Massachusetts’ first Black woman in Congress . Some of the elections were plagued with a number of instances of attempts to suppress the Black vote, including a concerted effort in Georgia ahead of Election Day that continued on Tuesday . See Also: ‘Dirty Tricks’: Stacey Abrams Voters Won’t Be Denied As Brian Kemp Rigs Voting Machines Here are five takeaways from the 2018 midterm elections: Black women candidates are winners While some African-American female candidates like Jahana Hayes were victorious and others such as  Vangie Williams came up short, they are all winners. Some of these women made history by winning competitive primary elections, as they overcame racism, gender bias and obstacles within the Democratic Party. Congratulations to Jahana Hayes, the former national teacher of the year who just became the first Black women ever elected to Congress in Connecticut. #ElectionNight #Midterms2018 #RepresentTheVote https://t.co/BFuTdEpje8 — NewsOne (@newsone) November 7, 2018 Racism was an effective GOP tool The Republican base responded to racist dog whistles in several elections. Ron DeSantis infamously warned Florida voters not to “ monkey this up ” by electing his rival Andrew Gillum, who is African American. Within days, Florida residents began to receive racist robocalls that mocked Gillum. Stacey Abrams was also targeted with racist robocalls in Georgia shortly after Trump called her unqualified to be governor of Georgia before holding a rally for her GOP rival Brian Kemp . “I heard people were making racist robocalls in my name against Stacey Abrams, who I am one hundred percent for, in Georgia,” Oprah said on Instagram. “I just want to say: Jesus don’t like ugly … And we know what to do about that: vote. Tomorrow show up and show out, and vote.” pic.twitter.com/CvK5VP60Az — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) November 6, 2018   Triumph for anti-Trump activism “This was a remarkable wave of grassroots activism that swept across the country — with women and people of color leading the way. From a U.S. House of Representatives that reflects the will of the people to the passage of Amendment 4 in Florida, which restored voting rights to convicted felons, this election was an overwhelming rebuke of Trump and Trumpism, and a show of support for candidates who look like America and campaigned on a bold, forward-looking and inclusive vision,” said NAACP President Derrick Johnson .   Vigilance needed to combat voter suppression Fighting against voter suppression is an ongoing struggle that requires tenacity. Georgia emerged as the epicenter for voting rights, where activists filed lawsuits against Kemp to ensure the votes of African Americans were counted. Kemp desperately used every trick in the book to win his election. “Voter suppression played a huge role in the silencing of the political voices of the Black community and all people of color,” the NAACP president said. “As we saw in Georgia and Tennessee, Republicans engaged in a massive voter suppression strategy that has included further rolling back the Voting Rights Act.” GA Secretary of State Brian Kemp stooped to new low in his ongoing efforts to keep black people from voting for ⁦ @staceyabrams ⁩. Voting machines, which fall under his responsibility, were delivered to majority black precincts without any power cords. https://t.co/IxvD4Usoo5 — Jon Cooper (@joncoopertweets) November 6, 2018   Black folks will turn out for midterm elections Black voter turnout was high in 2008 and 2012 when President Barack Obama was running. The numbers tumbled in 2016 . It was unclear what would happen in 2018. Early exit polls suggested that African-Americans showed up in strong numbers for the midterms, according to ABC News .

The Walking Dead Recap: Did Rick Grimes Die?

Posted on November 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Walking Dead said goodbye to an original star on Sunday night.  And no, we’re not talking about one of the recurring players here. We’re talking about the character who kickstarted the franchise on the series premiere, Rick Grimes! If you watch The Walking Dead online , you know that Rick was injured at the close of last week’s episode after trying to lure two herds of walkers away from his comrades.  With Rick going in and out of consciousness, he met a lot of his fallen friends, and one of them was Shane aka the man who got jiggy with Rick’s wife, Lori while he was in a coma.  It was a surprising scene because it took Rick all the way back to his days as a police officer, patrolling the streets of Atlanta with his BFF.  It didn’t last long, however, and Rick found himself back in the present and a walker about to kill him. He managed to fight it and escaped with his horse.  Yes, it may seem like Rick is invincible, but he has been fighting these zombies for several years, so it makes sense … kind of.  Another ghost from the past Rick met was Hershel who told Rick it was okay for him to let go, and that Maggie was growing as a leader every single day.  All of these visions seemed to want Rick to know that he could die and everyone would be able to move on if they had to.  The most striking vision was Rick on a huge landscape filled with bodies, but the bodies were of everyone Rick’s ever been close to.  It was harrowing for sure, but there was a beacon of hope in the form of the dearly departed Sasha.  “’Cause you did your part like I did mine… like the others did before us,” she said. “They gave us the strength that we needed to do what we had to do for the others, and the others draw strength from us. We make each other better, and it never ends.” “It crosses over toward the brave and loving.”  With that, Rick woke back up and was saved by Michonne and his friends, but he was not out of the woods. As he prepared to die, his girlfriend had some words for him.  It’s not over,” she said. “We don’t die.” That’s when we learned that Rick was still unconscious and he imagined the reunion. He continued to try and take the zombies away from his friends.  Rick found dynamite on the bridge with the walkers who were about to make their way to the other communities, so he blew the bridge up. Everyone was stunned by the loss of Rick, noting that he died a hero. However, he was well and truly alive down the river.  Anne appeared and claimed she was going to save Rick from this horrible world.   “It’s not a trick, not anymore. I’m trying to save a friend who saved me,” she claimed to the people on the walkie-talkie. “I have something for you now. We have a deal?” Rick and Anne were picked up by the chopper and taken well and truly away from the danger zone.  What the eff just happened? As if that big twist was not bad enough, we were thrown straight into the future to meet a much older Judith who was leading the charge on a rescue mission.  What are your thoughts on Rick’s last stand?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: To Love and to Cherish

Posted on November 5, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Real Housewives of Atlanta returned to Bravo on Sunday night, and things took a serious turn.  As we previously reported back in June, Gregg Leakes is battling cancer. With reality TV filmed months in advance, the hit reality series opened up with a lot of details about the diagnosis.  NeNe wasted no time in telling viewers all about the diagnosis, explaining that Gregg was taken to hospital in May and said he needed to get prepared for surgery straight away.  “His health these last couple of years has been a lot,” said NeNe.  “We were not prepared to hear that,” she continued, adding that she needed to be strong for her family. “‘I have put on a brave face, but I have had many moments in my car alone and if my car could talk it would probably say ”this b**** cries too much,'” Nene sobbed.  Gregg opened up about it when some of their friends and family showed up to wish him well.  “I guess the scariest part about all of this is when we got to the hospital and the doctor saying that we need to do surgery on you tonight or you ain’t going to make it,” said Gregg, adding: “I went over and prayed to God, and I told him If it’s time, let’s go,” the reality star added of learning he had cancer.  “I don’t fear death; I don’t want to go. If my work is finished here, take care of them, let’s go.” That’s when the season premiere turned into a somber affair. Gregg told everyone that he had written a letter for the doctor to give his wife if he did not pull through surgery.  “Writing that note was the hardest ever thing I did in my life, but you never know what is in you until you are at that door, I never thought I had it in me to beat cancer but know I’m going to beat cancer’s ass,” he said.  Despite the surgery being successful, both NeNe and Gregg recognized that it could return.  “You have been my light,” Gregg told NeNe. “I couldn’t do this without you. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t even try. So I want to thank you, baby.” Elsewhere, Porsha’s new boyfriend made a big impression on just about everyone, and Porsha seemed ready to move the relationship to the next stage.  “The power of the tongue is real. I said just at the beginning of this year I was going to meet the man I was going to marry, I’m going to get married this year,” she said. “And here I am completely in love and white is going to be my new color as I am going to be Mrs McKinley.” Porsha subsequently opened up about how her man was so rich.  “He does really, really well. America loves hot dogs, and these hot dogs are going to put a hell of a ring on my finger,” she gushed.  “I just never had this type of connection on this level,” she continued. “He told me he loved me the first day we met and I was like ”I love you too” it felt natural, and we just went with it.” Porsha later met up with NeNe, and the two chatted about their lives, with NeNe revealing why she was not going sit at home and wallow in despair.  “I’m the sort of person who would prefer to throw myself into work. I am not one to sit at home in a depression so I will continue to function,” NeNe told her. That’s when Porsha continued to refer to Dennis as a “friend” and NeNe was quick to point that out to the cameras.  “Porsha’s been telling me a lot about how she has a new friend, it’s a guy, okay. Porsha has puppy eyes, she’s really feeling somebody,” NeNe dished to the cameras.  Porsha later said she wanted to keep Dennis away from her castmates, presumably because she knows there’s always some drama.  “I am very protective over Dennis, I do not want other people in our little world right now,” she admitted. “It is important for us as our friends to show her that we are here for you as well as Gregg.” But Porsha may have gotten her wish by the end of the episode. Dennis appeared with a box that looked a whole lot like an engagement ring.  What are your thoughts on the premiere?

Kathryn Dennis Files to Modify Custody After Thomas Ravenel Arrest

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Southern Charm fans have borne witness the stunning rise and fall of Thomas Ravenel . Just weeks after his arrest stemming from sexual assault allegations, Kathryn has made her move in court. She’s asking the judge to modify custody and visitation for the couple’s young children. Us Weekly reports that, on Friday, October 26, Kathryn Dennis make a request at family court. She filed for a modification of custody and visitation. She and Thomas Ravenel share two young children, Kensie and Saint. At present, the couple share a 50/50 split of custody of their 4-year-old and 3-year-old. It looks like Kathryn is hoping to change that — and it’s not difficult to guess why that might be. Kathryn filed for this modification just one month after Thomas Ravenel was arrested for assault and battery . In May, Thomas was accused of sexual assault by two women. One of the accusations said that he had raped a woman after a date. Another said that he had sexually assaulted his children’s nanny, known to Southern Charm viewers as Nanny Dawn. It was from the latter accusations and a 2015 warrant related to them that he was arrested. Previously, Kathryn had actually lost custody of her children as the resutl of a failed drug test. She was battling substance abuse issues, and tested positive for marijuana (which is still illegal in South Carolina) and cocaine. This spring, after the accusations came to light, Kathryn quietly moved to amend the custody agreement. That is why she currently has 50/50 custody of the kids. It looks like, in light of Thomas’ arrest, she’s hoping that the court will grant her an even larger piece of the pie. Kathryn has had multiple opportunities to speak about the accusations against Thomas before. At the Southern Charm reunion special in July, she explained to Andy Cohen that she’d prefer to not comment. “I’m not going to comment until, I guess, it’s resolved, I think,” Kathryn said. Kathryn continued: “What I’m going to focus on is the children and staying out of it.” That makes sense, especially how conscious she must have been of her newly acquired shared custody. At the time, though, Thomas was only under investigation. In September, he was arrested. To be clear, Thomas has not been accused of being a danger to his children. But Kathryn — and the court — may fear that a man who can allegedly become a different, frightening person without warning is cause for alarm. And it’s probably worth noting that Nanny Dawn’s accusations are indirectly related to his children. Not only was she fired following her alleged assault, but she says that it happened very close in the house to where one of the children slept. Nanny Dawn says that she tried to keep quiet — instead of screaming — during the assault because she was afraid of waking that child. It was clear that the last thing that she wanted was for Thomas’ child to walk into the room and witness what he was doing. We do not yet know the details of the new custody arrangement that Kathryn is reportedly seeking. It is probably safe to say that she’s not looking for less time with her children. We would never claim to be experts in family law, but we’d guess that “my ex was arrested for a violent crime committed at home and accused of another” would get the court’s attention. Whether she’s seeking primary custody or to strip Thomas of any custodial rights remains to be seen. Kathryn may be staying vague and reserved in public, but in court, it looks like she’s going for the jugular.

Randy Houska to David Eason: You’re a Pathetic Weakling!

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Earlier this week, David Eason basically threatened the life of Chelsea Houska’s dad , Randy. That’s a sentence we never thought we’d write, but here we are. The anger-filled former Teen Mom 2 star went after his former colleague’s father because Randy dragged Eason on Twitter for seemingly breaking his wife’s jaw. There’s another sentence we never thought we’d write. But, again, here we are because it seems highly probable that Eason assaulted Jenelle Evans a few weeks ago. We’re basing this accusations on Jenelle’s own call to 911 , in which she identified herself and her husband and said that Eason broke her collar bone in a drunken rage. She also told an operator that David “pinned” her “down on the ground.” Evans later told social media followers that she was “realigning her jaw” with a retainer, a comment that prompted Randy to imply on Twitter that she was doing so because of Eason’s assault: In response to this remark, Eason went after Randy in a series of since-deleted Instagram videos, asking why he was “talking sh-t” and threatening to use his guns and his “vicious” dogs on Chelsea’s dad. “Mr. Randy, I’m going to ask you a question, punk,” Eason said in one of these clips, adding: “When was the last time you had your jaw realigned? Hey, punk, huh? You need to get straightened up? I’ll do it for ya, free of charge. Come on down to my dentist’s office, bud. I can even pull teeth. “I can realign your jaw.” Coming from someone with Eason’s history, such a comment might frighten the subject. But Randy reportedly could not care less about David and his so-called threats, insiders tell Us Weekly and Radar Online. “Randy is not afraid of David at all,” an Us source says of the dentist. “Randy knows that David is all talk and isn’t scared of him at all.” And another source echoes the same sentiment to Radar, saying of Randy: “He is not worried about that asshole. [Eason] is only brave on the Internet.” Has Randy added extra security at his home or at the office out of fear of what Eason might do? Nope, Radar writes, it’s “business as usual” there. Elsewhere in his menacing rant, Eason addresses Randy as follows: “I got guns. Don’t f-ck  with me… I got vicious dogs. Very very vicious… she will f-cking get ’em.” Eason, who MTV fired in February due to his onslaught of homophobic comments, does talk a good/violent game. But Jenelle swears he has never laid a hand on her. Late last month, the veteran Teen Mom star posed a YouTube video titled “Confessional: Domestic Violence” in which she defended her husband and told critics to calm the heck down. “I know everyone’s concerned about me, and I know everyone wants to know, ‘Is she okay? How are the kids? Blah blah blah,’” she said, adding: “Everything’s fine. “You know, I’ve been in so many domestic violence situations in the past that I would not put up with it now. So I don’t know why you guys would think that I would continue to stay in this relationship if I was being abused.” View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Denies Being Abused in Unsettling New Video We summarized Jenelle’s explanation of everything above, as she concluded in her lengthy video message to fans: “My mental health is way more important than people bringing me down like this and making me depressed. “Every time I told you guys that I was in a domestic violence situation you would not believe me, and now I’m saying that I’m not, now I ‘am’ and you guys are trying to tell me something different. “I’m just sick of hearing it, just stop. Just stop.”

Nina Agdal Dog Face Underboob of the Day

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I just googled Nina Agdal because I assumed she was 40 years old, she’s been around for a long time, but maybe I am just distorted on timelines because I don’t have a real grasp of days, years or months..they all sort of blend into each other especially when it comes to tracking some bikini model, who I felt even at the height of her bikini model fame, was not worthy of being a bikini model. The internet has the effect on people, where that we can step aside from actual status in society, or influence in society, and can feel empowered from our couches to be the opinionated assholes that we are… So someone like Nina Agdal, didn’t meet my standards, because I felt she looked like she had downs syndrome, allowing me to quietly protest her from my basement apartment and obesity…all thanks to her forehead size. When she moved from SI Swimsuit to date Leo DiCaprio as his public girlfriend, I assumed she just had dirt on him, because he could do better…but maybe he was into her for a minute, due to his homosexuality, he needs SI and Victoria’s Secret to pick out girls for him to pretend to fuck…it was her second peak, like she was a chain of mountains..with more than one peak..but unlike Irina Shayk, her sex working failed hard and she didn’t get knocked up like Irina did…forcing her back to this model life..bikini model life…in an era filled with way hotter bikini models that are younger… Anyway, all this to say she’s only 26…which I have a very hard time believing… I am sure she was 30 a few years ago…maybe someone’s out there changing her WIKIPEDIA page to suit her need to work a few more years due to stupid decisions she’s made. I guess this is her “working”. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Nina Agdal Dog Face Underboob of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

Journalist Kimberly Holmes Wiggins Turns Her Pain Into Power After Losing Her Husband

Posted on October 28, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

W hen Kimberly Holmes Wiggins met her husband Rasheed at Duke University years ago, she knew she had found her soulmate. She was drawn to his sensitive, caring, and unique soul. After the two attended a wedding where her sorority sister and his fraternity brother joined together in matrimony, Kimberly and Rasheed embarked on their own love journey and began dating. While maintaining a long-distance relationship while Kimberly furthered her journalism career in Washington, D.C. and Rasheed lived in North Carolina, the two established an unbreakable bond and tied the knot in 2011. Sadly, things took a tragic turn for the couple on a Spring evening in 2016. While returning from a quick store run, Rasheed lost his life after being struck by three cars at the intersection of Universal Boulevard and Destination Parkway, not too far from the couple’s Florida apartment. The first two drivers left the scene and are still at large. The third driver—who was driving a taxi—was the only one who stopped to help Wiggins. Kimberly became concerned when she couldn’t reach Rasheed and went out with their dog to go search for him only to come across a crime scene where her husband lay in the middle of the road. In just a short period of time, she found herself in the midst of a homicide investigation on an evening that was supposed to be a movie night for her and her husband. Her life was forever changed. “Every time we would leave each other we would kiss and hug goodbye but that night we didn’t because he was supposed to come right back. When you lose someone, who plays a significant role in your life it’s hard,” Kimberly told NewsOne as she recounted what happened that night. “The real pain sets in weeks, months, and years after that. Grief never goes away, and you just learn how to live with it. One thing that is really difficult when losing a spouse is that you lose the person who treated you special.” Mourning the loss of the love of her life has been an uphill battle for Kimberly, but she has decided to turn her pain into power and has led several efforts to create positive transformation in her life as well as the lives of others. In 2017, she launched the Rasheed A. Wiggins Entrepreneurial Prize at her and her husband’s alma mater Duke University. Rasheed who was a seasoned marketing professional was the co-founder of a digital advertising agency called AdRelief. Inspired by Rasheed’s entrepreneurial spirit, Kimberly and others who were close to Rasheed believed that the scholarship fund would keep his legacy alive by giving budding business owners the funds to launch their own ventures. The 2017 winner was a company called Flower Child Remedies which is a Black-owned natural hair product line. The winner of the 2018 prize has yet to be announced. Kimberly has also stepped into the realm of policy change and is fighting for a bill to be passed in Florida related to hit-and-runs. According to a study released by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, Florida is one of the top three states with the highest rates of fatal hit-and-run crashes. Under the bill, there would be an amber alert system put in place for hit-and-runs where people would be alerted about cars that left the scene. She also has launched a grief outreach organization called Still His where she provides support and sends gift boxes to widows across the country in an effort to help them heal. She also hosts several support brunches and dinners in the DMV area to cultivate a community of women who are struggling with the loss of their spouses and penned a book about how to cope with grief and support those who are grieving. Kimberly’s latest project is a 5K run in honor of Rasheed that is slated to take place on March 23; a day before what would have been his 42nd birthday. She’s thankful that she can use her platform to help those in need, especially women of color who lack resources when it comes to seeking help after experiencing loss. “It’s hard to come from a community that tells you to keep things bottled up. But we must confront our emotions to heal. I’m appreciative of being able to use my voice,” she said. “This was one of the most eye-opening experiences for me. When getting involved with these initiatives it was about putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward. I feel incredibly blessed because I was surrounded by so much love.” SEE ALSO: Rihanna And Colin Kaepernick To Reportedly Team Up For Social Justice Project Marshawn Lynch Launches Initiative To Provide The Homeless With Smartphones [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3832050″ overlay=”true”]

Best Andrew Gillum Debate Quotes From His Rematch With Ron DeSantis

Posted on October 25, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Go here to see the original:

T allahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum delivered a powerful debate performance Wednesday night against his Republican rival for Florida governor Ron DeSantis . See Also: White Supremacists Release Anti-Andrew Gillum Robocall Featuring Monkey Sounds Gillum, who’s making a bid to become the state’s first African-American governor, shredded the GOP candidate with his sharp wit and piercing comments. Here are some of his best shots. Here are 5 takeaways from Andrew Gillum's second debate against Ron DeSantis for Florida governor… https://t.co/iIj6fKkA0j #RepresentTheVote pic.twitter.com/tI4UQjYrrm — NewsOne (@newsone) October 25, 2018   DeSantis’ racism When DeSantis was cornered on his close ties to racists, he began raising his voice and getting defensive. “As my grandmother used to say, a hit dog will holler.”   He added this gem: “I’m not calling him a racist. But the racists believe he’s a racist.” As my grandmother used to say — a hit dog will holler. pic.twitter.com/kC34Ldd0is — Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) October 25, 2018   Political divisiveness The candidates were asked whether the divisiveness in the nation’s political discourse has pushed some people to the edge, prompting actions like sending pipe bombs in the mail to high-profile Democrats. Gillum argued that DeSantis is part of the problem. He pointed to comments DeSantis made on Fox News in which he warned Floridians not to “monkey this up” by voting for his Black opponent. Soon after DeSantis blew that racist dog whistle, neo-Nazis began sending out robocalls that included jungle music and monkey calls in the background. “My opponent has run this race very close to the Trump handbook where we call each other names.”   Teacher salaries Gillum noted that teachers’ salaries in Florida are ranked the 45th lowest of the 50 states. “If my grandmother was here, she wouldn’t just say that’s a shame, she would say that’s a crying shame.”   Gillum called out DeSantis for telling lies about his policy positions “In the last debate, Mr. DeSantis lied 21 times. Now, today makes the 22nd, and we’ve just started this debate.”   “Mr. DeSantis in the last debate lied 21 times. 21 times. And now today makes the 22nd and we just started this debate.” – @AndrewGillum #FLGovDebate pic.twitter.com/L6r7zXdpDE — Brynna Quillin (@brynnaquillin) October 24, 2018 Medicaid expansion and healthcare policy DeSantis tried desperately to defend his multiple votes in Congress to end Obamacare without having a suitable replacement. Gillum explained to the former congressman that healthcare is a top issue for Floridians. He recalled his childhood experiences. “I remember having to wait for the free dental clinic to come through my neighborhood to have my teeth cleaned.”   DeSantis questioned the moderator’s data from the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office’s report that rejected the healthcare plan that the former congressman and his GOP colleagues promoted. Gillum delivered this zinger. “Mr. DeSantis could have a monopoly on his opinion, but he doesn’t have a monopoly on facts. Facts matter.”   Corruption scandal One of the big questions before the debate rematch was how Gillum would respond to an onslaught from DeSantis over an FBI probe into possible Tallahassee government corruption, in which the mayor was reportedly not the target of the investigation. On Tuesday, text messages were made public about the source of tickets Gillum received to the Broadway musical “Hamilton” that appear to contradict his statements at the first debate on the issue. “In the state of Florida we have 99 issues, and Hamilton ain’t one of them.”   The Republican taxes overhaul Gillum called the GOP tax overhaul that boosted the bottom line for corporations a failure for working class families. The Republicans promised that there would be a “magical trickle down” to poor people. Instead of a pay raise to working class families, the tax overhaul gave the nation something else. “They have drilled a deep hole into the national debt and working people haven’t seen any appreciable rise in their wages.”   . @AndrewGillum delivered a powerful rejection of Trump's hateful politics of division at last night's debate for Florida governor. We're with Gillum! pic.twitter.com/FuO5cOLsFV — MoveOn (@MoveOn) October 22, 2018 Families continue to struggle financially While the Trump administration and Republicans tout falling unemployment rates, wages have not increased. “Forty-four percent of people in the state of Florida say they can’t make ends meet at the end of the month. Mr. DeSantis’ big donors may be doing just fine. They’ve got their yachts and boats. For the rest of the working people in this state, they simply want a wage they could live on.”   Immigration “We’re not going to criminalize people of their personhood simply because you’re a brown-skinned person or that you speak a language that may be of a foreign tongue to Mr. DeSantis or you live in a neighborhood that may include more brown people. That doesn’t, in and of itself, subject you to racial profiling. That’s the essence of what he would be promoting.”   SEE ALSO: Ron DeSantis’ Racist History Didn’t Just Begin With His ‘Monkey’ Attack On Andrew Gillum Megyn Kelly Hypocritical On Abuse Of Women [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3833255″ overlay=”true”]
