How could HE or his staff be that stupid
Weapons of Mass Political Humiliation.
I don’t recall DeSantis ever claim to have sent weapons to Israel......
He didn’t say weapons:
“At the request of the Israeli Consul General in Miami, cargo planes contracted by Florida were used to transport healthcare and hospital supplies, drones, body armor, and helmets that first responders can use,” the governor’s office said earlier this week in a statement.

“Ouch!”
Ouch for posting fake news!
I find it hard to believe he’d say he sent weapons. Maybe he did. A quote or source would be helpful. Sending weapons obviously requires a ton of paperwork and permitting.
It is an anti-DeSantis headline, however, which is the most important thing.
I hate hearing that. I like(d) Ron.
Maybe others on this site were correct in saying Ron was just not quite ready yet for the big leagues.
Remember how many of us though Gov. Scott Walker would have it made in the shade when he ran for the presidential nomination in 2016. He fought the labor unions and won. There were serious and costly attempts to recall him, but he was victorious over that challenge too!
Then, he began campaigning for the party nomination and began stepping into bucket after embarrassing bucket of rookie mistakes. His wife was part of the chaos.
It simply wasn’t his time. Then, along came Donald Trump, and everything else was history.
Never forget. Democrats are good at incompetence, lying and dividing. Nothing else.
There are federal government regulations and treaties (IIRC) that govern Exports - even by states. This story needs to be fully explained and sourced, IMO.
All politicians are liars.
Ron is a good second choice. He’s done so much good especially through covid.
Desperate politicians say desperate things.
Apparently Meatball is desperate.
he has shown himself to be no better than Chris cristy or any other swamp maggot!
WHAT A POS the ISRAELI CONSUL IS!!! HE NEVER SAID HE SENT WEAPONS!! LIAR!!
If the consul is in Miami chances are he is not sympathetic to a Conservative governor. Miami is very Liberal. I bet a person posted there would want to fit in.
From WUSF
“The governor’s office said it acted at the request of Israel’s consul general in Miami. Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, the consul general, initially said Thursday he did not request drones, body armor or helmets, nor had he talked to the governor about help getting weapons or ammunition through private parties.
Elbaz-Starinsky said later Thursday that others in the Israeli government had communicated with DeSantis’ office to determine what would be sent to Israel.”
Good. “Israel can take care of herself.” Ben Shapiro
the list doesn’t include weapons, desantis never said weapons.
