Rep. John James (R-MI) blasted Gov. Ron DeSantis “over the governor’s response to criticism from key Black conservatives over the state’s new Black history education guidelines, stating that the presidential candidate had ‘gone too far’ and needed to ‘stop’ his defense of the changes,” Insider reports.
Said James: “There are only five black Republicans in Congress and you’re attacking two of them. My brother in Christ … if you find yourself in a deep hole put the shovel down.”
