A Hamas fanatic declared during Monday’s anti-Israel protest in Manhattan that American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, “deserved” to be murdered by the terrorist group in a shocking video that pro-Israel influencer Lizzy Savetsky captured. On Saturday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers found Goldberg-Polin’s body in Gaza after nearly a year of being Hamas’s hostage.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Monday night that candidates do not “always have to lash out” and levy attacks when a rival receives an endorsement, but his campaign did exactly that hours later on Tuesday morning.

Nikki Haley (R-SC) for president on Tuesday morning, the DeSantis campaign issued a press release rife with sarcasm that was critical of Haley, former President Donald Trump, and the AFP.
