‘ Ron DeSantis’s claim he sent military equipment to Israel unravels ‘ - btfc - 10-28-2023
‘ The Florida governor and 2024 presidential hopeful declared on Thursday that he had worked with Israel’s consul general in Miami to send military equipment, including drones, body armor and helmets.
His office, according to Reuters, said it had worked to “get weapons and ammunition to Israel through private parties” as part of his high-profile “rescue operation”. The operation involved sending humanitarian supplies on chartered planes and returning from Israel hundreds of US citizens who wanted to come home following the Hamas attacks.
His boast, however, started to unravel when Maor Elbaz-Starinsky, Israel’s consul general, told the news agency he had not asked for DeSantis’s help, and that the governor’s involvement was limited to smoothing paperwork requirements for a previously arranged shipment of “rifle parts” ordered by his government.
“I am not aware and would find it very, very bizarre to think that somebody is procuring weapons and sending it to Israel,” he said. “This is not how we work. And certainly not privately funded.” ,
Lying Florida Repugs. Who could have ever guessed?…

I'm waiting for him to send a planeload of unsuspecting migrants, calling them volunteers.

He was just emulating a former hero who sent 200 workers to help at Ground Zero.

Hardly. Santos was in charge of the entire recovery in New York from 9/11.

P45*
At the time he told a news crew that he had about a 100 men on site helping with rescue, etc, and would have another 100 more the next day.
I saw a couple of more recent articles that said nobody could confirm that he did all that.
The other side of the coin was that there was no confirmation that he was lying, but given is propensity to lie even when it served no purpose but his 'bigger numbers are better' BS, I'd say he was.
But then I also believe OJ did it (the killings, not the helping at Ground Zero).
