Fallacies in this text?

You think about what MLK stood for,” Mr DeSantis said on 15 December. “He said he didn’t want people judged on the colour of their skin, but on the content of their character. You listen to some of these people nowadays, they don’t talk about that.”

Earlier this year, he claimed that the framework to address the legacies of slavery and racism in the US is “basically teaching kids to hate our country and to hate each other based on race.”

Master the "Rules of Reason" for Making and Evaluating Claims

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.

This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

This is an opinion. DeSantis thinks that MLK wouldn't be happy with the way anti-racism campaigners are conducting themselves today.

Whether he's correct or not will depend on your political leanings, especially your attitude to 'race relations' in the US.
