California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during a recent debate, claiming that DeSantis was attacking vulnerable communities, censoring historic facts, and rewriting history.
Newsom accused DeSantis of being anti-black and eliminating African American Studies from the curriculum, although these claims were not supported by evidence.
In response, DeSantis’ team highlighted their successes and accused Newsom of resorting to accusations of racism when lacking substantive arguments. (Trending: Joe Biden Impeachment Formalized As Republicans Unite)

They also referenced Newsom’s wife’s intervention during the debate.
“I’m dead serious about this. I have developed a lot of animus towards him because of his animus towards all of you,” Newsom said.
“You know, this guy’s out there scapegoating vulnerable communities. He’s attacking minorities, attacking women, and I don’t like it.”
“And I wanted to push back against it. And I felt like the party was a little timid on all this. I mean, you know, he’s out there talking about anti-woke, and I mean this, for me, it’s not anti-woke. What he really means is anti-black.”
“He’s out there censoring historic facts, he’s rewriting history,” Newsom said.
“He was out there, you know, he eliminated AP African American Studies. He said slavery was somehow some workforce development program. And he doubled down on that.”
“So for me, it’s a very serious moment where I just felt it was important to blow back against that, against that narrative, and hold these guys accountable on a network where they don’t hear from guys like me ever.”
“Americans know that DeSantis has succeeded where Newsom has failed. And when Democrats have nothing substantive to say, they default to accusations of ‘racism,’” The DeSantis War Room stated.
“No wonder why Newsom’s wife had to throw the towel in for him during the Hannity debate,” the statement added.
