DeSantis rips Biden's appeasement of Iran ahead of Hamas attack: 'Airlifting cash like they did under Obama'Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed legislation in Florida on Tuesday that he says will strengthen sanctions on Iran in light of the recent attack by Hamas on Israel and had sharp criticism for President Biden over his administration's appeasement of Iran ahead of the attack.
"I was sad to see the response from the administration be, at some rate, just absolutely you just throw your hands up and you wonder what's going on," DeSantis said during a Tuesday event unveiling more Iran sanctions in Florida.
"They have, immediately after the attack, they had to delete a tweet from one of the State Department bureaus that said there should be no response and then Blinken sent out a tweet calling for a cease-fire."
DeSantis was referring to a deleted post from Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling for "cease-fire" that caused an uproar online.
"The Biden administration made a decision to loosen sanctions on Iran that caused a lot more oil money to go filling the coffers of the ayatollah and the regime," DeSantis said about the Biden administration's recent move to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian assets in exchange for American prisoners.
"If Hamas and Hezbollah and any Palestinian Arab simply lay down their arms tomorrow, that would result in peace," DeSantis continued. "If Israel laid down its arms tomorrow, that would result in the destruction of the Jewish state. We know that. And so for having the administration do anything other than a unified voice saying that Israel should be able to defend itself and that we support, that was honestly not surprising."..............
