Fox News contributor and former Democrat calls out the Associated Press for suggesting the NAACP's travel advisory for Black Americans in Florida was justified.
DESANTIS, CONSERVATIVES ERUPT ON AP REPORT JUSTIFYING NAACP 'TRAVEL ADVISORY' FOR BLACKS IN WAKE OF SHOOTINGI know you remember as well as I do back when the AP was a trusted news source that would objectively just report the news, just report information.
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA - JULY 17: Republican presidential candidate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis delivers remarks at the 2023 Christians United for Israel summit on July 17, 2023, in Arlington, Virginia.A report from the Associated Press appeared to suggest the NAACP’s past warning for Black Americans against traveling to Florida was retroactively justified by the tragic shooting, leading to sharp backlash against the outlet from the DeSantis campaign and other conservatives.
Earlier this year, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People received extensive media attention after issuing a warning that Black Americans should avoid traveling to Florida, accusing Gov. DeSantis of an"all-out attack" on Black Americans. The move by the NAACP was widely dismissed on the right as a politicized message to grab attention.
But AP reporter Steve Peoples cited the advisory in a post on X about how DeSantis"scoffed" at the group but"just three months later" is dealing with the aftermath of the shooting in Jacksonville, where a White gunman shot and killed three Black people in what police say was a racially motivated massacre.
