The DeSantis campaign denounced the robocalls.
"This is absolutely appalling and disgusting — and hopefully whoever is behind this has to answer for this despicable action," spokesman Stephen Lawson said. "Our campaign has and will continue to focus solely on the issues that Floridians care about and uniting our state as we continue to build on our success."
Gillum’s campaign spokesman urged caution.
"This is reprehensible — and could only have come from someone with intentions to fuel hatred and seek publicity. Please don’t give it undeserved attention," spokesman Geoff Burgan said.
