Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet

 

On Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the Veterans for DeSantis coalition, with the official launch coming Thursday in South Carolina. Townhall received an exclusive sneak peak of the launch preview video that highlighted DeSantis military service, contrasted him with the other Republican presidential candidates, and also pointed to issues with the current state of our military. If elected, DeSantis be the first veteran who served in a war to be president since George H.W. Bush

"Patriotism. Integrity. Strength. Putting your country before for yourself," the narrator began by mentioning, pointing out that "for America's veterans, these traits are commonplace." That's where the contrast comes in, as the narrator pointed out that "in DC today, these values are short in supply," adding "our military readiness is weakened every day by left-wing radicals."

"It's time to change that," the narrator goes on to mention. "Ron DeSantis stands alone as the one who can get the job done. He's the only veteran in the 2024 race. He was deployed to Iraq alongside SEAL Team One and earned a Bronze Star. Freedom is fragile. It requires every generation's warriors to fight for it. Will you join us?"

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis slammed President Biden on Tuesday accusing him of prioritizing humanitarian aid to Gaza, which has reportedly been compromised by Hamas in the past, over rescuing American and Israeli hostages.

"Innocent Americans and Israelis are being held hostage by Hamas terrorists, yet Biden is more focused on sending ‘humanitarian aid’ to Gaza that will be commandeered by Hamas terrorists," the GOP presidential candidate posted on X Tuesday.  

"Biden should work with Israel to free all American and Israeli hostages, not shower Hamas with money."

The DeSantis post included a screenshot of a Reuters news article with the headline "US and Israel to develop aid plan for Gaza civilians, Blinken says."

 "Palestinian leadership is already bankrolling Hamas’ atrocities against Israel and Biden wants to send aid into Gaza that will further support terrorist activity," DeSantis said in a follow-up post. "As President, I wouldn’t send a single dollar into Gaza." Read more and see video here.
