Governor Ron DeSantis was asked today what he’s doing about violence against Muslims and Muslim schools since he’s been talking about protecting Jewish schools:
“You’ve talked a lot about protecting Jewish schools… what about the increase in violence to Muslims and Muslim schools?”
He answered by strongly disagreeing with the premise of the question, saying it’s a false equivalency to say Muslims are under attack like Jews have been:
“That is not true. They are not experiencing the similar threats. I don’t see how you can look at what’s going on…Are those students being chased for their lives in some of these universities around the country?”
