DeSantis rejects Dems' claim he's acting more like president than governor after weaponry shipped to Israel
Fox News
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis took heat from Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried over purportedly acting more like a president than a governor.
"What we found after a day or two is that people were stranded. They weren't getting help from the State Department. They weren't getting help from the embassy there in Jerusalem. And so I did an executive order in Florida, and we were able to scramble planes and bring back mostly Floridians… [and] Americans who were stranded," he said Friday on "America Reports."

Israel's consul-general in Miami, Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, told the Tampa Bay Times weaponry parts had indeed been scheduled to fly as cargo on an El Al Airlines flight to Israel earlier in October and that DeSantis aides approached him for assistance. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
The Times further reported additional manifests of donations from U.S. citizens were transported to Israel on Florida's dime, to which White House spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said it is legal for state governors to offer "foreign assistance." Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
