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.

What an ignorant thing to request. I'll readily admit mine is far worse than yours. But it's not a reflection of me, because I didn't vote for Edwards.

You you ingrate, it was Trump that made the difference. Had he not endorsed him, you would have ended up with Andrew Gillum, instead of DeSantis.

Now you trash Trump with lies about his behavior. Furthermore, you fail to see that Trump has the experience DeSantis doesn't have, as well as, DeSantis wouldn't have the balls to do what must be done. Only Trump will do what has to be done.

You are either very naïve, or incredibly uninformed.

Oh I completely recognized, from the very beginning of our conversation, that you do not appreciate Trump at all. In fact, you are totally turned off by him.

But I do not worship anyone, including Trump, except for the Lord & his son whom he sent to absolve our sins, period.

He's a human being, and no human being is perfect. But I admire what he is trying to do for this country. While he has warts & imperfections he also has traits that serve us well. Those traits include his willingness to take on those no one else will dare take on. He exposes truths about people, perhaps even by complete accident. How he does it is unimportant, the fact that he does it is what is important. He makes me cringe with some of the things he says. However, time after time what he said was correct, and more importantly, it was something that needed to be said.

While you think I hate DeSantis, the reality is that I am just extremely disappointed in him. For several reasons.

He takes what Trump had the courage the begin, and now is trying to claim that mantle as his by doing several things that a governor has the power to do, but which a president does not have the power to do. If DeSantis had met resistance in the Florida legislative body, as Trump had in the national legislative body, from members of both parties. He would not have succeeded at all. Trump still ended up succeeding far more than even the Republicans wanted. But again, none of that would have even been possible, had Trump not endorsed him. You give Trump absolutely no recognition of how his endorsement made a difference for DeSantis who was relatively an unknown.

DeSantis was tempted by the GOPe, who are as corrupt as Biden is, and are in it for themselves, raping the citizens of this nation of their wealth, just as much as the Democrats are. That is the really big disappointment I see in DeSantis, for that means he is all in for himself, just like the Mitch McConnell's of the party.

All he had to do was sit back & inherit the mantel. Well, sadly he exposed himself for what his true motivation is, to acquire power for himself. He may even be wiling to garner great wealth in the process by becoming totally corrupt. Proving that he is not what he portends himself to be, a fighter for America & Americans.

But people like you are so blinded by your hatred for Trump, because you fail to understand that Trump is not motivated by wealth & power, but is instead only motivated by the love he has for this nation, and the citizens who love this nation. Perhaps you hate this nation along with hating Trump, and that prevents you from appreciating Trump.

As a result, I will not hesitate attacking you DeSantis fanboys, and your selfish idol who you think has what it takes to change this nation and return her to the people for whom it was originally founded. In reality, DeSantis has no such intention to do so at all. If he did he wouldn't have been seduced by the GOPe to be the Trojan Horse he was selected to be and remove the man that they fear the most, because he is coming after them, and he is waking up the people.

That's why I call you either extremely naïve or badly uninformed.

You and your fellow fanboys need to awaken and join together to make this happen, Make America Great Again, actually even greater, because it will be without slavery as it becomes reborn.

So, you elected him as your governor for a second term to run for president against Trump?

Trump wouldn't be attacking DeSantis if he weren't planning to run to become the Republican candidate for president in 2024.

If DeSantis were concerned about this nation, he would allow Trump to run without contesting him. He would also realize that the GOPe are using him merely to destroy the MAGA movement. In addition he is ignoring the theft of the 2020 election, and denying the GOPe's involvement in that theft, as well as, the 2022 midterm election cycle. The GOPe heavy hitters are members of the Uniparty, which means they don't care if it's a D or an R who wins, as long as it's someone whom they can control.

Wake up to that reality, and understand why I can no longer trust DeSantis to be an America first person. To me, he's a person who tests the way the wind is blowing and making his political move when he sees a benefit for him personally.

I talked to a woman at dinner yesterday who was ranting about DeSantis and Florida banning books.
She was outraged.
I just did a search & there are hundreds of articles about Florida banning books.
Apparently Florida book banning is a big topic in mainstream media.
I told her I go to school board meetings in PA where parents were reading pornographic passages from books in the school library, but our district is apparently keeping the books.
I asked her what channel she’s watching, and she said, “NOT FOX NEWS.”
She lives a very conservative lifestyle, but she’s been brainwashed by the media to vote democrat.
