    This would be fun to watch. Guarantee Harris won’t show up.

    “Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday invited Vice President Kamala Harris to Florida to discuss the state's new Black history curriculum after Harris delivered remarks there blasting the new standards for suggesting enslaved people benefited from skills used in forced labor.

    “In Florida we are unafraid to have an open and honest dialogue about the issues. And you clearly have no trouble ducking down to Florida on short notice,” DeSantis wrote, referencing Harris' last-minute trip that was first reported by NBC News….”

    Ron DeSantis invites Kamala Harris to Florida to 'set the record straight' on new Black history standards

    I can only imagine the DeSantis haters here having to defend Harris on this one lol!

    Do you think Desantis is intentionally sabotaging his campaign?

    Even for Desantis this is a particularly stupid move.

    No.

    In fact this is important. We need to put the agitators in their place.

    So, her saying “Slavery was not a positive” and him saying, um, whatever the “debatable” counterpoints are?

    I agree she should take him up on this.

    Just saw a live on CNN a reporter asked Harris if she'd debate Ron DeSantis on this topic. ANS: Who?

    You are woefully unqualified to make that assessment.

    Why would Harris EVER agree to debate DeSantis on whether teachers should educate our children that there was some kind of benefit to the enslaved for being held in bandage?!?!

    Why would she debate a subject that has no moral decency or legitimacy, when the very holding of a debate lends credibility to the incredible?!?!?!

    DeSantis will be rightfully called out for his callous disregard of minorities and history, again, with his insensitive, indeed revolting, exposition of indecency, which is perhaps the only thing that he seems to excel.

    He’d crush her in debate. That’s not an endorsement of him as much as it is an indictment of her.

    You've obviously never watched the human bobblehead debate. Harris isn't good, but DSsantis is horrible.

    She's right. DeSantis is wrong. And that's why even Black Republicans were like, "bro, don't die on this hill."
