We even see extremists ban books and try and erase, and even rewrite, the ugly components of our historical past. Proper right here in Florida, they plan to show college students that enslaved individuals benefited from slavery. They insult us in an try and gaslight us, in an try and divide and distract our nation with pointless debates. And now they try and legitimize these pointless debates with a proposal that the majority just lately got here in of a politically-motivated roundtable.
I’ll inform you there isn’t a roundtable, no lecture, no invitation we’ll settle for to debate an indisputable fact: there have been no redeeming qualities of slavery. As I stated final week after I was once more right here in Florida: we is not going to cease calling out and preventing again in opposition to extremist so-called leaders who attempt to stop our youngsters from studying our true and full historical past.
Video of Harris:
Vice President Harris accurately known as out DeSantis’s invitation as politically motivated and made him seem like a racist idiot for desirous to debate the deserves of the undebatable evil of slavery. Harris isn’t going to name DeSantis out immediately that may be giving him and his failing presidential marketing campaign precisely what he and it need.
DeSantis is on the lookout for the White Home to raise him in order that he can look like presidential and an equal to President Biden and Vice President Harris.
Whereas Trump would have engaged DeSantis or anybody immediately when he was president, Biden and Harris are a lot smarter in regards to the platform that they occupy. Trump was continually elevating individuals by preventing with them. Biden and Harris knew precisely what DeSantis was doing and denied what he wished most all of the whereas calling him an extremist who’s attempting to divide and gaslight America.
Rating this change as an enormous win for the White Home and VP Harris.
