Ron DeSantis on why he's standing his ground against Kamala Harris: 'It's wrong to let false narratives stand'–Gov. Ron DeSantis says he is "ready to roll" when it comes to debating face-to-face with Vice President Kamala Harris in the controversy over a line in Florida’s new African American history curriculum that mentions "how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."
Hours after sending a letter to Harris inviting her to come to Tallahassee to debate him, DeSantis told reporters on Tuesday that he had invited the vice president "to come to Florida to debate Florida’s education standards."
The Republican presidential candidate, during a retail campaign stop at a diner in New Hampshire’s capital city, argued that Harris "seemed to have a lot to say about it. None of which has been true. And so, we are ready to have that debate."
When asked by Fox News if he had heard back from Harris or the vice president’s office, DeSantis said "she has not" responded to the invitation..............
..............DeSantis initially dismissed criticism over the new standards by saying he was not responsible. During a campaign event in Utah on July 21, the governor defended the curriculum but also said, "I didn't do it. I wasn't involved in it."
He has also repeatedly returned fire at the vice president, accusing her of trying to "demagogue" about Florida’s new standards...............
