Sen. Tim Scott, S.C. stood by his comments slamming Florida's Black history curriculum, suggesting his GOP rival Ron DeSantis and Vice President Kamala Harris are actually aligned.
Republican presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott, S.C., spoke with Fox News Digital at the site of the first GOP debate of the 2024 election cycle.
At the time, Scott spoke out against the curriculum, saying"There is no silver lining in slavery" which sparked some criticism on the right accusing the 2024 hopeful of siding with Harris on the issue. "All I've suggested is take the sentence out," Scott said."Anyone who suggests that the nation founded on freedom, talking about the one industry slavery that deprives African Americans of their freedom is somehow going to defend any aspect of it whatsoever, it's just wrong."
When asked to clarify what he meant when he said DeSantis and Harris"both signed off" on the"same curriculum," Scott's campaign pointed to Harris'of the AP African American Studies course that the DeSantis administration rejected in January for its"woke" content.
