NBC News host Chuck Todd complained over the weekend that Florida Republican Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis">Ron DeSantis</a> signed into law &#8220;Victims of Communism Day&#8221; which teaches students in the state the far-left ideology&#8217;s murderous history.
Todd made the remark Sunday on &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; while discussing remarks that DeSantis made in Las Vegas over the weekend.
&#8220;We&#8217;re also the first state in the country to establish every November 10th, the day in our schools is earmarked, to teach our students at all grade levels about the evils of Communist regimes throughout history,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to tell the truth about Marxism and Leninism.&#8221;
&#8220;I went to Florida public schools,&#8221; Todd declared, &#8220;We were taught this, it was called history. It just seems like a weird politicizing, you know, he&#8217;s going out of his way to politicize something.&#8221;

GOV. RON DeSANTIS:
We&#8217;re also the first state in the country to establish every November 10th, the day in our schools is earmarked, to teach our students at all grade levels about the evils of Communist regimes throughout history. We&#8217;re going to tell the truth about Marxism and Leninism.
[END TAPE]
CHUCK TODD: You know, Jonathan, it&#8217;s sort of like, look, being a Floridian, I sort of know what he&#8217;s trying to &#8212;
JONATHAN MARTIN: Who he&#8217;s talking to there.
CHUCK TODD: What he&#8217;s trying to play there and all of that. But I would tell him, I went to Florida public schools. You know, we were taught this, it was called history. It just seems like a weird politicizing, you know, he&#8217;s going out of his way to politicize something.</blockquote>
