Kamala Harris Gets Humiliated on CNN Over Her Slavery Curriculum Remarks

Poor Kamala Harris. If this was her “biggest moment” as vice president, then she’s going to have achieved a really pathetic record in office.

On Sunday, CNN’s political analyst Scott Jennings exposed Vice President Harris in humiliating fashion for claiming that a Florida middle school syllabus contained incendiary content suggesting enslaved individuals somehow “profited from slavery.”

Harris had delivered remarks in Jacksonville, Florida, on Saturday, claiming, “Just yesterday in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.”

The new curriculum states, “Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

CNN political commentator Karen Finney praised Harris’ remarks, calling it a “stellar moment.”

“It was a stellar moment, and I think she did something that she has done often in the last couple of years, which is in a moment when something needed to be said, she got out there and said it, and really channeled what people were feeling. I mean, the idea that we would literally have a conversation – I have to laugh, it is so disgusting that there were personal benefits of any kind to slaves. It is like saying women, we’re happy when we couldn’t vote and we couldn’t have our own banking accounts. It is just ridiculous,” she said.

Dana Bash, host of CNN’s “State of the Union”, asked Jennings to react to Democrats’ calls for Harris to increase her public visibility.

“What is amazing to me [is] that how little Kamala Harris apparently has to do that she can read something on Twitter one day and be on the airplane the next to make something literally out of nothing,” he said. “This is a completely made-up deal. I looked at the standards, I even looked at an analysis of the standards, in every instance where the word slavery or slave was used, I even read the statement of the African-American scholars that wrote the standards – not [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis, but the scholars.”

“Everybody involved in this says this is completely a fabricated issue and yet look at how quickly Kamala Harris jumped on it. So, the fact that this is her best moment, a fabricated matter, is pretty ridiculous,” Jennings continued.

As pointed out by Governor Ron DeSantis’ Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern on Sunday, Dr. William B. Allen, one of the members of Florida’s African American History Standards Workgroup, appeared on ABC News and shredded Harris’ remarks as “categorically false.” His fuller remarks, selectively edited for air by ABC News, drives home that Harris contrived the controversy.

Yesterday, @abcnews aired a very small section of their interview with a member of Florida’s African American History Standards Workgroup, Dr. William B. Allen.

“The only criticism I’ve encountered so far is a single one that was articulated by the vice president and which was an error, as I stated in my response to the vice president, was categorically false,” Dr. Allen said. “It was never said that slavery was beneficial to Africans. What was said, and anyone who reads this will see this with clarity, it is the case that Africans proved, resourceful, resilient, and adaptive, and were able to develop skills and aptitudes, which served to their benefit, both while enslaved and after enslavement.”

Kamala Harris, whether out of ignorance or intellectual dishonesty, distorted the Florida curriculum in order to continue needlessly dividing the nation over race. America needs to stop electing leaders who foment misunderstanding and keep us apart, and instead promote the nation’s ideals of freedom, equality, and unity.
