Gov. Ron DeSantis is giving more details into an operation apparently underway to bring Americans back from Haiti.

Operational details, meanwhile, such as cost and vendors getting the contracts, are still not to be divulged to the public. These can add up: the Israel flights cost $19 million, as the Tallahassee Democrat reported.

The Governor made the comments Friday night on Fox News to Sean Hannity.

LOL..... still looking for p.r. by copycatting others...this time, after Rep. Cory Mills had already gone into haiti and gotten people out.

And the cost of flying something like 700 people from Israel was between $19 and $50 million, as 'not all receipts' had been known at the last time that story was reported on

Since desantis claims the evacuation flights from Israel were for ‘Florida residents’ and less than half of the 700 people ended up to be from Florida....

I wonder who desantis will facilitate evacuating from hait, this time.

And on the Florida tax payer’s dime....

He locks the books down so voters can’t see how the state money is being spent

I soured on Ron DeSantis but regardless of his motivations, I applaud him for doing this. If something good is being done, I can live with politicians promoting themselves inappropriately. I don’t like such behavior but it is a small cost for a greater good.

Be great if instead he reduced crime in FL, reduced insurance rates, and dealt with traffic…

Still livin’ rent-free in yer head.

But thanks, again, for highlight the successful work of America’s Greatest State Governor. Your tireless efforts on his behalf will, no doubt, be noticed in Tallahassee.

You AT’s are amazing. Here you criticize DeSantis for doing something Biden won’t do.

And where is Donald Trump in the quest to save Americans stuck in Haiti?

Lol.....

So what’s desanctimonious going to do?

Get kitted up, and be the tier one ‘worked with the seals’ naval person he dreamed of?

Order the Florida Air NG to strafe, then secure an airport, while he lands in a cargo plane, and leads a rescue mission?

He’s now a Chuck Norris wanna be?....

Awwwwww ... you seem to be butthurt that a State Governor is governing his State. You seem to be butthurt that someone other than Donald Trump is doing something good.

Fat, drunk, and butthurt is no way to go through life, “back packer” ...

But please: Keep us posted on the good things that Governor DeSantis (your credibility would be increased if you learned how to spell his name) is doing. I’m sure that your efforts on his behalf are not unnoticed in Tallahassee.

This Angry Trumper’s fundamental lack of knowledge on what the DeSantis has already done is amazing. But perhaps he could fill us in on all the great wonderful things Trump has said and done for his own home state in regards to this Haitian crisis.

I know what desanctus has done...and he continues to do it.

And that’s

lie about things

manipulate people

spend and waste millions of tax payer dollars in attempts to buy off the poor opinion people have about desantis

court the media with near daily press conferences as if that will help desanctimonious have a chance at becoming president

and more.... but you won’t acknowlege it.
