This is getting beyond ridiculous. Now Rep. John James is bashing Governor DeSantis over Florida’s curriculum and accusing him of attacking black Republicans:
“Ron DeSantis, #1: slavery was not CTE! Nothing about that 400 years of evil was a “net benefit” to my ancestors. #2: there are only five black Republicans in Congress and you’re attacking two of them.
“My brother in Christ… 🤦🏾♂️ if you find yourself in a deep hole put the shovel down. You are now so far from the Party of Lincoln that your Ed. board is re-writing history and you’re personally attacking conservatives like Tim Scott and Byron Donalds on the topic of slavery. You’ve gone too far. Stop.”

This is not hard and I just don’t understand these attacks…unless they are politically motivated. And that’s honestly what it smells like to me.
Because there are nothing wrong with Florida’s curriculum! It’s said to be a model for the nation by a historian who does this for a living. I’ll do that as a post next.
But for now, here’s some responses to John James’ outlandish tweet:
I’ve voted for you twice and supported your last run. I don’t care that you endorsed Trump. Could have easily overlooked that. But letting him use you as part of this smear attempt is a permanent deal breaker. Hope the endorsement promise is worth it.

Incredible that you would take a Democrat packaged lie and weaponize it against a Republican. Scott is running against DeSantis and Byron is simping for Trump. What’s your excuse?

how is Ron DeSantis “attacking” Byron or Tim Scott? They both ran to a camera, said stupid things aligning themselves with Kamala Harris and the Left, and then cried when the base was unhappy. That’s their bad. https://t.co/uxXEFtj50z

Don’t do “my brother in Christ” if you’re pushing lies that have been debunked https://t.co/QbOnLXIJxx

I’m not going to forget about everyone that lied about this using White House-approved talking points.
Once again, let’s hear from Dr. Allen, who helped write the new curriculum: https://t.co/2zRozJWiki pic.twitter.com/ZFOmEvqn3x
