Just for clarification, Palestinians are Semitic.
Margaret Brennan pointed this out in her follow-up question but DeSantis just gave her the dumb frat boy face and carried on explaining that the Palestinians are the real racists.
My partner watches “Face The Nation” every Sunday and, no matter how good an interviewer Brennan is, I think it’s useless at this point. People just show up and repeat their propaganda confidently, talking around incisive questions.
They need to stop letting them talk if they don’t want to conform to the structure of the event.
Ron is a special boy.
Oh look… a white supremacist is doing white supremacism while hiding behind white supremacism’s older sibling - antisemitism.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said the United States should not take in any Palestinian refugees if they flee the Gaza Strip because they “are all antisemitic” and he dismissed international entreaties for Israel to provide clean running water and utilities to the 2.3 million civilians in the territory.
DeSantis’ comments were a striking departure from the public stand taken by U.S. officials, including some of his fellow Republicans, who draw distinctions between the aims of the Palestinian people and those of Hamas.
Medics in the region are warning that thousands could die as hospitals run low on fuel and other basic supplies, and desperate Palestinians are trying to escape northern Gaza before a potentisal Israeli ground campaign.
DeSantis’ comments underscored how the Florida governor is embracing hard-right rhetoric as he tries to gain ground on former President Donald Trump, the GOP front-runner for the 2024 presidential nomination.
DeSantis first suggested the U.S. should not accept refugees from Gaza while speaking at a campaign event in Iowa on Saturday and argued that they “are all antisemitic.”
DeSantis defended his remarks during the TV interview, suggesting that Hamas’ rule of Gaza — opposed by many Palestinians — meant none should be accepted as refugees into the U.S.
