While providing few details, Gov. Ron DeSantis and state Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie said a flight with 14 people, including children, had departed Wednesday afternoon to go to Orlando Sanford International Airport.

Guthrie said about 500 Americans and 360 Floridians had contacted the state about evacuating.

Guthrie said the state is also working to get people from where they have been staying to an undisclosed airfield in Haiti.

“ desanctimonious figures he can do what he wants to, with other people’s money.”
********************************************************************

Jeez, did somebody steal your cheese? Pulling American citizens from harm’s way is a pretty righteous use of American taxpayers’ funds.

And just exactly what has Trump done to rescue the US citizens? Or even said in response to this crisis.

Once again, Trump is caught with his pants down like he was with Disney, Bud Light and abortion.

DeSantis is doing a great job as governor and setting the bar really high for other ones.

He needs/needed to stay governor where he can be FAR more effective than he would be as president.

When are you going to condemn democrats for doing the very thing you are accusing DeSantis of doing?

Why do you hate Americans trapped in Haiti and don't want to see them rescued?

I spent as much of my own money as Meatball the Magnificent did to save the poor island people

I bet you’ve also spent as much money as Trump the Terrific has in saving those poor island people.

Trump probably does not have much extra money at the moment. Also, Trump does not toot his own horn when doing good things.

I think he’s a far bigger thorn in the left’s side as governor than any other position he could hold.

Trump the private citizen can’t do anything because people like you are stealing his property on fake charges

The desantis supporters are just upset their messiah didn’t kit up and join them in a chuck norris like rescue mission, where desanctus kicks down doors and guns down haitian gang members, while rescuing damsels in distress....

and televise it for their mesmerizing viewing pleasure...

Waiting for DeSantis-hating Trump supporters to try to keep the feud going — by belittling Desantis’ efforts to save Americans in Hati.

Now that’s funny coming from a person that worships a guy that has superhero trading cards and has shared memes of himself as Rambo.

desantis riding on Cory Mills coattails, who has already done multiple evacuations of people from haiti. Since he spent between $19-50 million on flights to get 700 people out of Israel, I wonder how many millions of taxpayer money he'll spend in haiti, and if he's hiring mercenaries to provide security for his evacuations.

Seek help.

Correct.

He never should have ran for President. He was never going to defeat Trump, and his influence as a governor of a large and influential state was good for the country at large...that was something absent during his quixotic run for President.

Oh my - now come on. Even the most fervent Trump supporter knows that isn't true.

But I don't endorse attacking Trump like the people you are responding to as a retort against these ridiculous attacks on DeSantis. Blasting him for doing what a governor should be doing and making official announcements which is also what a governor does.

Okay, he does it a bit, but there are many good things he does in the sly that do not come out until much later.
