They understood that those principles would be the engine for progress for generations to come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>When CNN\u2019s Wolf Blitzer pressed him further on whether he agreed with Haley \u201cthat the U.S. has never been a racist country,\u201d DeSantis fell short of completely agreeing with her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, what I said was we\u2019ve had challenges with, with how race was viewed,\u201d DeSantis said Tuesday. \u201cAnd so, for example, those were universal principles in the Declaration of Independence. And you had a decision in the 1850s \u2014 the Dred Scott case said Dred Scott, because he was Black, wasn\u2019t an American citizen. That was wrong. That was discriminating on the basis of race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why you ended up having the 14th Amendment ratified to overturn Dred Scott. So yes, we\u2019ve had challenges with how we\u2019ve dealt with race as a society,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Despite conceding the U.S. has faced issues when discussing race, DeSantis still argued that the country is the \u201cbest place\u201d to pursue dreams.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cYou have one place you want to grow up and have the most opportunity, it doesn\u2019t matter your background, this is the best place to grow up and to pursue your dreams of any place in the entire world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Haley\u2019s campaign defended the former South Carolina governor\u2019s comments in the wake of her \u201cFox &amp; Friends\u201d appearance, emphasizing that there was a difference between the U.S. being a \u201cracist country\u201d and recognizing that racism has always existed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica has always had racism, but America has never been a racist country,\u201d Haley spokesperson AnnMarie Graham-Barnes said in the statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
