Meet the Press interviews for 2023 races: on Education


Will Hurd: First Republican to say that slavery is not a jobs program

I was the first Republican to come out and say that slavery is not a jobs program, and anybody that is implying that there was an upside to slavery is insane. And what is even more shocking to me is that Ron DeSantis' department of education doubled down on this. Ron DeSantis has doubled down on this multiple times and then he wants to blame the people that wrote this and say, "I wasn't the one that wrote this."
