MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR ADDS ‘PERFORMED WELL’ TO LIST OF OFFENSIVE PHRASES

The Daily Caller reports:
MSNBC contributor and Washington Post Columnist Jonathan Capehart Wednesday night, became the first person to declare the term “performed well” as hurtful and offensive to African-Americans.

Capehart appeared on “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’Donnell and was asked about comments made earlier in the day by Ron DeSantis. Capehart responded, “We are all focusing on the ‘monkey’ line,” adding “but that was the third of three things that he said that I as an African-American picked up right away.”

Capehart continued, “The second word that he used that the more that I hear it, the more angry I get about it. … DeSantis said he watched the Democratic debates, and that Gillum performed well. Not that he had good ideas that he disagreed with, but he performed well. So you have an African-American who’s articulate, who performs, and is, you know, monkeying things up.”
Comrade Capehart is waiting to sensor you....
