<p>Florida Republican Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> slammed the legacy media during a press conference Thursday about his new legislative push taking action against illegal immigration amid President Joe Biden&#8217;s ongoing crisis at the southern border.</p>
<p>DeSantis specifically took aim at the hypocrisy of media organizations who complained about the events of January 6, 2021, but have ignored when left-wing protests interfere with legislative actions in government facilities.</p>
<p>DeSantis&#8217; remarks came in response to a report about changes that are happening at the Florida Capitol that will reportedly modify who is allowed to hold demonstrations on the grounds.</p>
<p>DeSantis said that the rule change did not come from him and that he was not involved in the decision.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would imagine that it&#8217;s just, you go there, and you speak your mind, great,&#8221; DeSantis said, &#8220;but you&#8217;ll have some groups that will try to take over capitals like we&#8217;ve seen in other state capitals.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And, you know, it&#8217;s interesting, if they&#8217;re doing that from the Left, then the media says, &#8216;that&#8217;s democracy in action,’” he continued. &#8220;They don&#8217;t say it&#8217;s an &#8216;insurrection&#8217; if you take over a capital because of that, but I think that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s getting to.&#8221;</p>

<p>DeSantis also took aim at false claims that are being peddled by the media about Florida&#8217;s education policies, specifically &#8220;media lies&#8221; about his decision to ban Critical Race Theory and gender theory in Florida A.P. African America Studies.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have the reporter saying that &#8216;Governor DeSantis does not want students to learn about slavery and its aftermath,’” DeSantis said. &#8220;Well if you actually looked at what our standards are, not only is it not prohibited to teach that, it&#8217;s required to teach that.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;We are required to teach all aspects of black history, not queer theory, but actual aspects of black history. &#8230; They are lying to you,&#8221; DeSantis added.</p>
<p>The governor said that the media is lying to people to &#8220;try to create a narrative&#8221; because they have an agenda that they are trying to push for political reasons.</p>
