The NAACP President Derrick Johnson is clearly misled when it comes to how many Black Americans voted for Ron DeSantis.

GALLAGHER: This is a CNN host with the NAACP President talking about the NAACP’s war on Florida.
SIDNER: I want to ask you about some numbers, and just your thoughts on this. In 2022, there was an exit poll in Florida that showed that 13 percent of exit polls, Black voters liked DeSantis. And then when it came to Latino voters in Florida, they voted for DeSantis as governor according to CNN’s exit poll. So the Black voters there voted for DeSantis, 13 percent of them. That’s not a small number. What do you say to those folks who voted for him? Now, we have to also, with a caveat say, that this happened before some of these bans came into place like the banning of Critical Race Theory in schools, of DEI in colleges, and the blocking of the AP course on African-American studies. But curious to your thoughts, 13 percent of the Black population is no small feat for a Republican candidate there in Florida.

JOHNSON: Well, I have never seen an accurate exit poll in 30 years, nor have you, nor have that network. And I’m surprised you would repeat an exit poll number. Exit polls are historically wrong and misleading. Therefore, whatever the number or percentage of individuals who voted for him, that’s prior to these bad policies. Now we are living in the reality of an individual whose governing. How someone campaigns and how they govern are two different realities. Now we are witnessing firsthand how he’s governing. And he’s governing to a small vocal minority of the community, not the majority interests of Florida, nor is he governing towards the future of Florida, which will not look like the small minority that he’s speaking to in this moment.

GALLAGHER: Listen, I think there are legitimate policy debates we can have. This is not even legitimate policy. This is blind rage.
