DeSantis Slams Pro-Hamas Rallies as “Societal Sickness”
Clear Facts:
- Rallies in support of terror group Hamas have been reported across various U.S. cities.
- Gov. Ron DeSantis criticizes these demonstrations, associating them with approval of Hamas’ heinous acts.
- DeSantis cites Florida’s actions against Iran, highlighting the state’s move to expand financial sanctions.
Republican presidential hopeful and Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, pulled no punches in his criticism of pro-Hamas rallies in various U.S. cities.
Speaking on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” he expressed his disgust at the public show of support for a group responsible for horrific acts of terror.
“These demonstrations … where they’re cheering Hamas, knowing that Hamas has decapitated babies, they’re executing elderly people, raping women — this is obviously an atrocious terrorist attack, but I think that they scraped the bottom of the barrel of human depravity on this,” DeSantis stated.
He did not mince words, declaring that these rallies signal a disturbing “sickness in our society.”
In the face of these pro-Hamas demonstrations, DeSantis emphasized Florida’s proactive stance against the terror group’s financial backbone, Iran.
The state has taken decisive measures by ramping up financial sanctions against the Middle Eastern nation.
He voiced concerns about the end use of funds funneled into Iran, stating, “My view is the more money that goes into that country, that regime takes it. They’re not going to help their own people. They’re going to send it to Hamas and Hezbollah and foment jihad throughout the Middle East, so we’ve got to do our part to shut off the spigot as much as we can.”
With these words, DeSantis reinforced the need for strong action against states sponsoring terror, emphasizing the role that every state, including Florida, can play in stifling the resources of such groups.

What Ron DeSantes stated is accurate. BLM as well as the Muslim extremist all need to be put behind bars for the rest of their lives! There is no excuse to kill innocent men. Women & Children, no matter what religion or race they are. The gang of four which include taliab, AOC, Illiam, etc. need to be immediately removed from their Congressional Seats based on their habitual descrimination against people of the Jewish Faith and any others who disagree with them. To me they are a disgrace to be called an American! The Dem party is pushing to have more Muslim Terrorist come to America without being screened for background checks. That is the worng direction I want to see my country go.

Bidenbletvthe Islamic world know where he stood when he was debating Trump during the 2020 election. He stated the word “Insallah”. BHO IS a Muslim. Why do you yhink we have so many Muslims now in public offices and governments? So many freely crossing our borders AND other countries as well? Strategically moving to EVERY country in the world? WWW III may very well be carried out in every individual country, not in just one. Think about it ….

Shoot trespassers – they are criminals – hunt, round up anyone that supports HAMAS which is a known enemy & give them a 1 way ticket
to Iran or GITMO.
