Kamala Trying to score cheap political points Rejects DeSantis' Invitation

Kamala Responds To DeSantis Invite

Gov. Ron DeSantis extended an invitation to Vice President Kamala Harris to visit Florida and discuss the state’s new Black history curriculum after Harris delivered remarks there last week blasting the standards as suggesting that enslaved people benefited from skills used in forced labor.

In a letter to the vice president, the Republican governor wrote that “given your grave concern (which, I must assume, is sincere) about what you think our standards say, I am officially inviting you back down to Florida to discuss our African American History standards.”

Harris, who last month flew to Orlando to deliver remarks at the 20th Women’s Missionary Society of the African Methodist Episcopal Church Quadrennial Convention, quickly rejected DeSantis’ invitation Tuesday and said that “there is no roundtable, no lecture, no invitation” they will accept to debate an “undeniable fact” that there were no redeeming qualities of slavery.

DeSantis also invited William Allen a member of Florida’s African American History Standards Workgroup who is Black and who helped draft the legislation.

Incidentally, besides Democrats, Black Republicans Rep. John James of Michigan, Rep. Byron Donalds and Sen Tim Scott spoke their displeasure about the bill where it implied that enslaved people could have benefited from skills used in forced labor. Any implied benefits of slavery are irrelevant such as being a blacksmith. You really can't imply anything good about slavery.
