Weird – Ron DeSantis in New Hampshire Promises to “Go After These Third World Countries That Have Become Hotbeds of Antisemitism”…
August 5, 2023 | Sundance
This is a very odd line inside an extended response to an audience question in New Hampshire (full context video below).
Candidate Ron DeSantis was responding to a question from a Jewish audience member about antisemitism in Florida and her concerns that her Jewish family were unsafe. As Ron DeSantis walks through the exceptionally pro-Israel policies he supports, particularly as the leading AIPAC candidate in 2024, the Florida governor is highlighting a series of Israel-first policies he implemented in the state, when suddenly he makes this weird statement:
…”We’re going to go after these third world countries that have become hotbeds of antisemitism.”
Obviously, DeSantis is trying to position himself as the most pro-Israel candidate in the race; that part is not uncommon. Pulling Mark Levin away from President Trump would serve multiple interests around his candidacy. However, this specific line about going after third-world countries just seems a little strange.
What countries is he talking about, and how exactly would “we go after” them?
Perhaps the guiding hands of the 2018 congressional exit are starting to surface.
