Florida Gov. DeSantis Slams MSM Book Ban Hoax “They’re Lying”
The Free Press-Tampa ^ | 03/072023 | Mike Jenkins

Today, Governor Ron DeSantis set the record straight, debunking the mainstream media, unions, and leftist activists’ hoax of empty library bookshelves and political theater pretending that Florida’s schools cannot teach about topics like African American History, including topics like slavery.

Governor DeSantis touted Florida’s high-quality standards for required instruction of African American History, extensive African American History educational requirements in state law that Governor DeSantis has successfully helped expand in recent years.

He almost lost to Gillum when those two “election supervisors” were still running the Palm Beach and Broward counties’ election offices. And that’s aside from DeSantis being a relatively unknown, white guy up against a black guy who brought in the Obama-like historic factor as an advantage in what was a swing state at the time.

Yes, he was up against Crist who lost Gillum’s vote numbers by around 900k, but DeSantis received over half-a-million more votes than he had gotten in 2018. Gillum won 12 counties in 2018, but Crist only won 5 in 2022. That’s 7 previously reliable Democrat counties that were flipped.

It is Trump’s personality that turns people off. That’s the truth.

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Lie forcefully knowing the media and the appropriate establishment will support you.

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: “Pick the target and polarize it" via Rules for Radicals.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Scream accusations of racism* (or racist* attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack your opposition by projecting your guilt onto them.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: Declare that your destructive actions are creating a positive outcome.

The Left’s Core Strategy #6: Attack opposition with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Think drive-by shooter.

The Left’s Core Strategy #7: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.

Repeat

“It is Trump’s personality that turns people off. That’s the truth.”

That’s the truth???

Is that why he got more votes than any other incumbent president is the nation’s history.

And if you believe Biden actually got 80 million votes, don’t bother responding, because only an idiot could believe that.

I don’t hate DeSantis, but he’s not ready, in my opinion. Sit down Ron.

While you keep using the Democrat/GOPe/Uniparty projection tactic of portraying Trump as a loser.

You remind me of those currently decrying the J6 tapes that expose their lies over the past 2 years, and are now doubling down with their lies, because the truth destroys them.

Just out of curiosity, which alphabet agency do you work in?

I've been watching the cheating going on in this country for decades, realizing that it will not bode well in the end. Only I underestimated the extent of how badly it would end.

Since you have chosen to participate in that endeavor, all I can say is:

Enjoy the world you will reap as a result.

Ever heard of the calm before the storm. I mean you should have since you live in Florida.

Always remember that circumstances can make a 180 degree change, in the blink of an eye. With your help that blink will occur.

So, be careful what you say, for it may come back to haunt you, and when it does it may just break your world apart.

You need to examine your hypocrisy, for had it not been for Trump, we would have gotten Shillary for our president, and Florida would have gotten Gillum for their governor, and the Ron fanboys now want to trash Trump.

So, you know what, I fell no remorse whatsoever for standing up for Trump and trashing DeSantis for playing this game and thinking only of his own personal political career.

I am not a hypocrite, but you certainly are. You keep claiming things about Trump that are patently false, and I will not be silent.

In my eyes, you are an ingrateful little person.

Trump never told anyone who to vote for. He just exposed DeSantis as the ingrateful idiot who is out for his political career, period.

But you are the one who keeps exposing their ignorance. Keep it up. You lose every argument, except amongst your brethren of equally ignorant DeSantis fanboys.
