DeSantis dines with Miriam Adelson, other GOP megadonors in Jerusalem
Times of Israel, Apr 28, 2023

Florida Governor and presumptive presidential nominee Ron DeSantis was spotted dining in Jerusalem this week with Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson.

She was among several major Republican donors at the dinner hosted Wednesday by Larry Mizel, an American businessman who helped found the Museum of Tolerance where the meal was being held. Mizel was the finance chairman for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign office in Colorado during the 2016 race.

DeSantis sat in between Mizel and Adelson, according to Axios, which boke the story.

Miriam and her late husband, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, backed DeSantis during his successful 2018 gubernatorial run, donating $500,000 to the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC.

DeSantis is likely seeking Adelson’s support once again, as he is expected to announce his candidacy for president in the coming weeks, though he faces an uphill battle.

Ron DeSantis Tries to Commandeer Trump's Greatest Israel Accomplishment
Newsweek, Apr 28, 2023

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Thursday during a speech in Israel that he previously attempted to "cajole" the Donald Trump administration to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

DeSantis delivered the keynote address at the Celebrate the Faces Israel event held at the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem, in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of Israel.

The governor spoke of his history supporting strong U.S.-Israel ties, dating back to his time as a congressman.

"When we were trying to cajole the previous [Donald Trump] administration to do it, I actually launched a very small delegation over here. We looked at a bunch of different sites. We had a big press conference to announce that this was going to happen. We were confident, and there was a plethora of possibilities to be able to do."

Funny, I looked real close and didn't see Ron's name etched into the stone.

For those who may have forgotten, the Governor signed his first anti-Semitism bill in 2019 ----

FL Gov Ron DeSantis Signs Bill Addressing Antisemitic Hate Crimes
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill into law on April 27 addressing antisemitic hate crimes while he’s visiting Israel.
Jewish Journal, Apr 27, 2023

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill into law on April 27 addressing antisemitic hate crimes while he’s visiting Israel.

The bill, HB 269, has made it a felony to “to litter a yard with a flier, harass people, disrupt schools or religious services, deface graves and certain buildings, or project images on someone else’s property” if these actions are based on racial or ethnic prejudice, according to Tampa’s National Public Radio (NPR) affiliate. The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, which provided legal advice on the bill, noted in a statement that Florida has seen a spike in antisemitism in recent years, with examples including Jews being harassed in front of an Orlando Chabad house and people going to college campuses with the message “Ye Is Right,” referencing antisemitism promulgated by rapper Kanye West.

"We are doing what we can do in Florida to enhance the ability to hold people accountable when that really crosses the line into threatening conduct,” DeSantis said during The Jerusalem Post and Museum of Tolerance’s Celebrating Faces conference in Jerusalem. “We are fighting back.”

State Representative Randy Fine (R) tweeted that the bill is “the strongest antisemitism bill in the United States.” “To Florida’s Nazi thugs, I have news: attack Jews on their property and you’re going to prison,” he wrote. “Never again means never again.”

Pander much,Ron?

Despite sucking up  to foreigners while searching  for dollars,it seems like he is under the impression that he has Jesus on Direct Dial.

He sure is a modest fellow,isn't he?
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Another “born yesterday” hot take from trumpworld.  Campaigns cost money.  You’ll figure it out once Donald is finished blowing all of his on trashing conservatives.
