Conservatives called out CNN political commentator and former Rep. Mondaire Jones, D-N.Y., for citing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' rejection of a high school African Studies program alongside Tyre Nichols' death. "If you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course Ron DeSantis just banned," Jones wrote Friday on Twitter. He also referenced DeSantis' opposition to a high school AP African Studies course proposed by The College Board. "It’s the thinking FROM that course DeSantis opposed that has people thinking like stupid things like this," said Washington Examiner columnist Christopher Tremoglie.
