MSNBC guest Aisha C. Mills says Florida ‘about to be a terrorist state’
Democratic Party strategist Aisha C. Mills appeared on Nicolle Wallace’s “Deadline” talk show on Monday to discuss the NAACP’s travel advisory warning that Florida was “openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ+ individuals.” During the interview, Mills made a controversial comment, saying that Florida was “about to be a terrorist state” for black and LGBTQ people under the leadership of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. Despite this, Mills admitted that she and her family had traveled to Florida for spring break. Mills praised the NAACP’s advisory as “extremely clever” and revealed that it turned a “lens on the United States and highlights how bigotry and bias and ignorance do as much harm as we accuse other countries of doing to people that they suppress.” The warning approved on Saturday by the NAACP’s board of directors tells tourists that, before traveling to Florida, they should understand that the state “devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color.”
