Florida Governor Ron DeSantis chuckled to himself when asked to respond to his fellow Republican’s mild criticism of his school curriculum. He then gathered himself then pointed out the obvious; it’s the “DC Republicans,” fault.
As a recap, this is what DC Republican, Tim Scott said, “as a country founded upon freedom, the greatest deprivation of freedom was slavery. There is no silver lining … in slavery. What slavery was really about was separating families, about mutilating humans and even raping their wives. It was just devastating. So I would hope that every person in our country — and certainly running for president — would appreciate that.”
Scott then goes on to say, “People have bad days, sometimes they regret what they say. And we should ask them again to clarify their positions.”
When asked to clarify his position, DeSantis chuckled, then pointed the reporter’s attention to the shiny DC Republican over there…, “You know, I think part of the reason our country has struggled is because D.C. Republicans all too often accept false narratives, accept lies that are perpetrated by the left and accept the lie that Kamala Harris has been perpetrating, even when that has been debunked.”
He continued.
“That’s not the way you do it. The way you do it, the way you lead is to fight back against the lies, is to speak the truth. And so I’m here defending my state of Florida against false accusations and against lies, and we’re going to continue to speak the truth.”
