Former Democratic politician and now Fox News contributor Tulsi Gabbard attacked the NAACP for "weaponizing" racism against Florida and Ron DeSantis.
Fox News was furious that the NAACP issued a travel advisory for Florida because of the governor's controversial and "aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools."
Gabbard joined The Five to denounce the NAACP. After describing the racism her grandfather was subjected to in Florida, she claimed it's all better now.
"He was chased out of, you know, white bathrooms and away from water, white labeled water fountains," Gabbard said. "And so he directly experienced what, how things used to be."
"So frankly, there's a positive and negative to this story," she said.
There was no positive in her grandfather's story. At all. None.
"The negative, of course, is the NAACP is racializing and weaponizing racism for political benefit," she claimed.
"The positive is it's a testament to their success in the civil rights era that they have done so much good that the Florida my dad grew up in is not the Florida that kids are growing up in.
By the NAACP taking a powerful stance against DeSantis' radicalizing Florida, but they are the real racists?
