GOP nominee for governor revealed as author of book excusing slavery
By Caroline Orr - October 9, 2018
In addition to defending slavery, Florida Republican Ron DeSantis also railed against women's rights and anti-discrimination laws.
Ron DeSantis, the GOP nominee for governor of Florida who kicked off his campaign by hurling dog whistles at his African-American opponent, is once again under fire for making racist remarks.
This time, however, he wrote the comments in a book.
During his 2011 bid for a congressional seat in Florida, DeSantis penned a little-noticed book focused almost entirely on attacking America’s first black president, arguing that President Barack Obama’s worldview was incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.
But in between the pages taking aim at President Obama’s biracial heritage and questioning his Christianity was an even lesser known section in which DeSantis jumped headfirst into a disturbing justification of slavery.
The discovery was first reported this week by the American Ledger, an American Bridge project.

"...the Constitution, DeSantis wrote that the Founding Fathers were compelled to ratify slavery, and that the Constitution wasn’t flawed just because it allowed slavery in the first place."
"...compelled to ratify slavery..."
"...the Constitution wasn't flawed just because it allowed slavery..."
...these are not only people the Republicans want as governors, these are the same people Republicans want and appoint as Supreme Court Justices...
...sure, let's go back to the good old days...
