Earlier this week, a GOP Candidate for the United States Senate from the state of Florida repeatedly referred to President Obama as an “animal.”
Carlos Beruff speaking to Republican voters at a St. John’s County GOP gathering, also accused the President of destroying America and its military:
“Unfortunately, for seven and a half years this animal we call president, because he’s an animal, OK — seven and a half years, has surgically and with thought and very smart, intelligent manner, destroyed this country and dismantled the military under not one, not two, but three secretary of defenses. And they’ve all written books about it.”
While he was at it, Beruff also let loose with this bit of intestinal gas:
“Sooner or later, you’re going to find, this was a plan, he wants us to be just another country. I don’t want to be another country. I want to be the United States of America, the greatest country in the world.”
Beruff is one of five Republicans who are seeking to replace Senator Marco Rubio, who has been busy for the past two years unsuccessfully running for the White House.
In April, Beruff, who has about as much chance of being a Senator as a feral cat does, called for a ban on travel that goes even further than Trump’s controversial plan to block all Muslims from coming to the United States. Beruff would ban all people from anywhere in the Middle East from entering the U.S.
The leading Democrat in the Florida Senate race, U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, had this to say about Beruff’s comments:
“Mr. Beruff’s statement is not only offensive, but extremely disrespectful to President Obama’s incredible service to our nation. I’m proud to stand by President Obama and his commitment to fighting for Florida families, and I call on Mr. Beruff to immediately apologize for his disrespectful comments. In the U.S. Senate, our diverse state deserves better than Mr. Beruff’s clear record of bigotry.”
