WTF?!? DeSantis now says he'll save Floridians ONLY - No other Americans or Canadians

Governor DeSantis now says he'll take the 49 Floridians off the cruise ship sitting of his shores. He won't take the other 250 Americans or the 400 Canadians. So much for the country pulling together. Thanks for the national leadership @realDonaldTrump

Ron DeSantis says he’ll order a rescue from stranded cruise ship — but only the people from Florida

On Wednesday, CNN’s Joe Lockhart reported that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is preparing a rescue mission for people trapped aboard the MS Zandaam cruise ship off the coast of Florida.

The catch? DeSantis plans to rescue only the 49 Floridians on the ship. None of the other 1,200 passengers on board — including the 250 Americans from other states and the 400 Canadians — will be rescued.

The Privileges and Immunities Clause (U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1, also known as the Comity Clause) prevents a state from treating citizens of other states in a discriminatory manner. But I know, Republican...

raise your hand if you are from Bethlehem. These form a line on my right. You can come to me and I will help. The rest of you are not my children. Go back.

Only won the primary with trump’s backing in the primary and a weak Democratic opponent in the general and then barely.

He got kudos early in this when it was just a matter of minor declarations and lip service. But he lost the plot in his desire not to cross trump and he is being derided for has 3 week late lock down.

This is going full trump. Just lies. Once that ship docks any American Citizen attempting to disembark will be allowed to. The people at the port are are Federal agents and will not refuse Americans their rights. They will tell state officials to FO.

This proves how stupid DeSantis is. Trying to rally all the Native Floridians against this. A big percentage of his voters do not even think of themselves as Floridians. They are retirees or recent move in’s. I’ve been here 33 years. When people ask where I am from I say Florida. But a huge percentage of our population immediately say some other state. He is acting like his base is the inbreds in Mississippi.
