Republican Presidential hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story” that his administration would use deadly force on drug dealers at the U.S. border.
DeSantis said, “People are dying by the tens of thousands because of the fentanyl that’s trafficked in.”
He continued, “We’re going to obviously build the wall and do that. But what I’ve seen in my trips down there and I’ve taken a number of them, the cartels will actually cut through the good part of the border wall like a blow torch or a saw. They have backpacks on and they run though the drugs. My view as commander in chief would be is we have to have appropriate rules of engagement to say, ‘if you’re cutting through a border wall on sovereign U.S. territory and you’re trying to poison Americans, you’re going to end up stone cold dead.’ We are not going to put up with this right now. The drug cartels control our border. It’s open season.”
DeSantis added, “And it is not just at the border in the cartels are crossing. We’ll have maritime operations because what you have is these precursor chemicals are being shipped in to Mexico. The cartels then take the chemicals, they create the fentanyl product and move it in to the United States and kills people and every community across this country. We’re going to do full spectrum to finally put this issue to rest.”

More and more HOT air from DeSantis...
Why does he keep using phrases like this? It is starting to be funny.
He just throws anything out there against the wall and looks to see if it sticks.
Executive Ordered Executions??
“Ron ‘Copy-Cat’ DeSanctimonious Strikes Again!!”
Trump certainly didn’t do that!
“More and more HOT air from DeSantis...”
DeSantis walks the walk.

No thank you. Biden’s just at good at stealing
Jeb without the Guacamole recipes.
I have no problem with a wall...A beautiful, glorious one at that. But if we are going to be serious, 1.) Congress declares war, and 2.) The Commander-in-Chief orders the military to defend the border. The military is given ROE to kill anyone crossing the border at any place other than designated border crossings.
Are all those drug dealers in Florida stone cold dead?
Someone told him he needs to act “tougher”. Maybe he’ll start wearing jeans and cowboy boots next. Ride a horse.
“Why does he keep using phrases like this?”
Tested well with the focus group.
Bill O’Rielly said 6 months in jail first offense. A year second. It’s not like Singapore.
Who enforces it without emptying a lot of jail cells?
I spoke with a noted scientist who said a radioactive strip across the border would work nicely.
“Ron ‘Copy-Cat’ DeSanctimonious Strikes Again!!”
I understand you support former president Trump, but don’t you get bored posting anti DeSantis remarks hour after hour and day after day? I’ll answer my own question - no.
Are all those drug dealers in Florida stone cold dead?

Nope, they show up on boats.
You can’t wall off Florida.
He will say anything now to salvage his failed run.
"THE WALL" Ron, has already been built to the distance of 455 miles. You would certainly be welcomed to FINISH THE WALL, as long as your fan Paul Ryan and his establishment buddies aren't able to sabotage the effort.
Yup. He talks as if he is the one who would BUILD the wall, instead of the one who would FINISH BUILDING the wall.
Absolutes can be problematic.
I think DeSantis is losing it in more ways than one.
