Gov. Ron DeSantis offered an emphatic response to the Vice President Tuesday night during a Fox News hit.
In an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” the Governor argued that Kamala Harris was perpetuating a “hoax” about Florida historical education standards about slavery.
“She hopped on that plane very quickly on Friday to come down to Florida to spew this hoax,” DeSantis said, referring to her speech in Jacksonville while he was in Utah for a campaign event.
The Governor claims Harris visited “to try to push a fake narrative about what Florida did.”
Harris took particular issue with language in the standards that argued slaves “benefited” from slavery by learning skills.
“Adults know what slavery really involved — come on! It involves rape. It involves torture. It involves taking a baby from their mother. It involved some of the worst examples of depriving people of humanity in our world. It involves subjecting people to the requirement that they would think of themselves as less than human,” Harris said.
“So in the context of that, how is it that anyone could suggest that in the midst of these atrocities, that there was any benefit to being subjected to this level of dehumanization?” she added. “That in the midst of these atrocities there were some benefits?”
For DeSantis, that argument was a non-starter.
“They talk in gory detail, a lot of the bad in American history, including of course the injustice of slavery, but she is trying to perpetuate a hoax and I know they’re using it to attack me because Biden’s administration and Harris has been attacking me since they got in office and they’re always attacking Florida.”

Poor widdle Ron feels under attack by those mean people. Wawawawa
Large numbers of Floridians actually are under attack by this governor: women, teachers, LGBTQ people, students, Black people and immigrants.
The governor is not the victim. He’s the perpetrator.

Ron DeSantis is bad for Florida and would be even worse for the country. He is excellent as a perpetrator of widespread triangulation but too cowardly to take and maintain a stand unless he can hide. He proved that this week with his Utah actions, he proved that by loading immigrants in Texas and flying them to Harris’ home and he proved that by claiming ignorance about his recent position on teaching ridiculous lies to students in Florida.

I work an online job from home and earn 185 dollars per hour. I never imagined I could do it, but my best friend, who makes $15,000 a month at the job, encouraged me to find out more about it. This has limitless possibilities.

A modern-day fascist who likes to play the victim whenever he’s confronted on his victimization of others, and otherwise is just one plain very bizarre dude.

I think I have encountered the word “hoax” more in the past couple of years than in decades total before.

Kamala parlayed her ancestral slave skills into personal excellence at smacking a bitch named Rhonda.
But let us not forget that slavery involved forced birth, just like today’s plantation owners demand of us while tossing relative pennies our way for 12+ hour days but hey maybe we’ll learn to do something worthwhile and become plantation owners ourselves someday assuming society isn’t set up such that the existing plantation owners can’t just take a temporary loss to squeeze us out before we can build up enough capital to weather a down period with our crops.
Hoax or Witch Hunt
July 26, 2023 at 7:44 am
How do Republican decide whether to go with “it’s a hoax” versus “it’s rigged” versus “it’s a witch hunt” versus “they’re coming for you so they’re coming for me”
Folks criticizing the “valuable skills” thing are exactly quoting what the Rhonda administration wrote, so it’s not a hoax. At worst it’s cherry picking, but experience politicians tend to keep their cherries under wraps, not like Ron DeSantis constantly handing out cherries like they’re candy.

Good mornting Black America,
1.) Black liberals: its past time for you to wake up. The racial subject is always stired up and/or instigated by who?
a.) White liberals who all have one important trate: the white liberals are always what they accuse others of being.
b.) Black liberals who benifit from helping the white liberals are less than 10% of America’s Black population. Think Black politicions, race hustler Black laywers, Black celeberties and Democratic Party approved Black activists. No need for names, everyone already knows.
2.) Which leaves 90% of America’s Blacks totally unserved by white liberals.
a.) 90% – think about that Black America.
3.) The recent “racial” push white liberals have put on in their “media frenzy” national show has nothing whatsoever to do with 90% of America’s Black population other than vote pandering.
4.) White liberals: you are a lost cause. One and all of you are hurting 90% of non-celeberty non-politicion Black Americans by your blind lock step support of Democratic scams on 90% of Black Americans.
a.) Basically scamming 90% of America’s Blacks to vote Democrat to benifit 10% of America’s Black celeberties and politicians has been successful for you and is totally modeled after Democrat’s success back in slave days where Democratic Plantation owners would elevate 10% of their slaves to be “overseers, house help, and Uncle Tom snitches” while 90% of their slaves were just that…slaves for the Democrat Plantation owners.
b.) The slavery system still continues in Black America with white Democrats in charge, Black politicians and celebs performing the time honored “overseer” roles over 90% of Black America’s modern day slaves.
Think about it Black America and vote Republican, hold your nose and vote if you must, its the only way to break the shakles of modern day slavery under the white Democratic masters.

Angry divisive rhetoric

Talking about slavery is racist? It’s American history! Why does white American get freaked out when slavery is brought up? It’s crazy. So when teachers talk about slavery they are being racist? They aren’t allowed to teach American history? You are not a real American. You sound like a nazi. Go back to europe. Real Americans should want to know real American history. You probably never served either. You are a loser and anti-American!

Earl, you know who really votes against their own self interests? Rednecks. White rural Christians of lower to middle income.
Obamacare? Republicans tried to repeal it. There was no replacement. Sink or Swim.
Giant tax cuts that went 86% or so to the top 10% and added 6 trillion to the deficit. Did Ma and Pa Kettle benefit? Trickle down doesnt even trickle. And your pals want to abolish the IRS because nobody needs to pay taxes and government operates for free.
Social security. Like the rest of the safety net, designed and passed by Democrats, opposed by Republicans and Dixiecrats. Designed to keep the elderly out of poverty.
Black voters are not a monolith, but in my view Black voters ARE the Democratic party, at least that’s what the GOP uses to scare its voters.
If you want Black voters, drop all the racist legislation, quit gerrymandering their representation away, quit insulting half the country by supporting a guy who uses Nazi symbolism and wants Florida children to learn slavery was good.
And then be sure to have a blessed day.

You have not addressed the topic. Slavery a hoax? The worse atrocity of mankind. This has nothing to do with liberals or conservative. Slavery lasted in America for three hundred years. You don’t know your history. I don’t know why Americans get a heart attack when slavery is addressed. It’s bizarre! What is the problem? It happened. It’s American history, period! We are not talking about politics, we are talking about American history! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH TALKING ABOUT SLAVERY? IT SHAPED THE WHOLE UNITED STATES!

Hush liberal white boy,
You do a very poor job of imitating a Black man. Then, liberal white boy, you used all caps. (You are not fooling anybody).
Mom wants you to take a shower and get a job to pay rent for squatting in your Mom’s basement stinky liberal white boy.

Life is so unfair for Ron DeSantis who can’t have his way.
Let’s remember that our founding father Thomas Jefferson fathered a child with his house slave.

The only hoax
July 27, 2023 at 11:37 pm
The only hoax here is the one where Ron DeSantis is pretending to campaign to become President of the USA. If his campaign is not fake, he must truly be an imbecile.
