At event in Iowa, governor conflates Palestinian civilians with Hamas, the terrorist group that attacked Israel a week ago
Highlights:
“We cannot accept people from Gaza into this country as refugees,” he said. “If you look how they behave … not all of them are Hamas but they are all antisemitic, none of them believe in Israel’s right to exist.”
Last week, the Florida governor described a pro-Palestine demonstration in Tampa and a “Victory to Palestine” event in Fort Lauderdale as “abhorrent”.
The New York Post reported on Saturday that House Republicans had introduced new legislation to prevent the United States from accepting any new Palestinian refugees who might be fleeing the crisis in Gaza.
I stopped caring about what Ron thinks some time ago.
Matt Gaetz is going to be the next governor of Florida, Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. I’m looking forward to Ron DeSantis disappearing into irrelevance shortly.
Seems like the path is Political position --> Grift----> Fox News Commentator
I hope not, we’d be going from bad to worse here.
You should care because he is politically relevant. We have to keep people aware of how awful he is so that he gets voted out and later ignored so he becomes irrelevant.
He’s a terrible politician with nowhere to go.
You may not care what he thinks, but he cares great deal about what you think, and he’s trying to put himself in a position where he can do something about it. So maybe you should start caring.
Knowing the DeSantis family as I do, I think he’s an idiot. You can tell him I said that.
