Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis said he's filling the void left by the Biden administration, telling Newsmax on Thursday that he signed an executive order to get stranded Floridians home from Israel since the president is asleep at the wheel.
Citing what he calls the Biden administration's blundered response in the wake of the terrorist incursion on Israel on Saturday, DeSantis told "Carl Higbie FRONTLINE" that he's not taking any chances with the lives of Floridians.
"We're marshaling planes in Israel. We have some stationed throughout the Middle East already," DeSantis told Higbie. "I think we're going to be able to get some people on board prior to Shabbat weekend that starts in Israel at sundown on Friday.
