DeSantis responds in force to NAACP's Florida travel advisory: 'A total farce'
Fox News
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized the NAACP Wednesday evening for issuing a travel advisory this week warning Black Americans against visiting his state.
"Claiming that Florida is unsafe is a total farce," DeSantis remarked. "I mean, are you kidding me? You look at cities around this country, they are awash in crime. In Florida, our crime rate is at a 50-year low. You look at the top 25 cities for crime in America, Florida does not have a single one amongst the top 25." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"And if you look at cities like Baltimore and Chicago, you got kids more likely to get shot than to receive a first class education," he continued. "Yet, I don't see the NAACP batting an eye about all the carnage that's happening in those areas. So this is a political stunt. These left-wing groups have been doing it for many, many years. And they are colluding with legacy media to try to manufacture a narrative."
