Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Flo.) is swatting down the idea of systemic racism.
“Well, it’s a bunch of horse manure. I mean, give me a break,” DeSantis said during a Fox News town hall when asked to comment on the idea that the U.S. is a “systemically racist country.”
He continued:
“This country has had more opportunity for more people than any country in the history of the world and it doesn’t matter where you trace your ancestry from. We’ve had people that have been able to succeed and all and here’s the problem with things like critical race theory that they’re peddling. They’re basically saying all our institutions are bankrupt, and they’re, they’re illegitimate.”
“How do you have a society if everything in your society is illegitimate?” DeSantis asked.

Joe Walsh, who was running in the 2020 Republican primary, tweeted in response to the Florida governor, “DeSantis is wrong.”
“When I tell my conservative talk radio audience that I think there is STILL systemic racism, EVERY Republican voter disagrees with me,” he added. “Every one.”
