DeSantis Would “Level” Bahamas If They Attacked FL

Florida Politics reports:

Ron DeSantis is telling Iowans that in the unlikely event the Bahamas got warlike and attacked South Florida, he would obliterate that island archipelago. During an event Saturday in Muscadine, the Florida Governor and 2024 presidential candidate was discussing the need to stand with Israel as it battles with Hamas, when he floated the unexpected metaphor likening terror attacks on Israelis to the hypothetical threat of “rockets” from the Bahama Islands.

“What are you supposed to do? I mean, I used to say even when they would just fire the normal rockets because they’ve been firing these rockets for years and years. And I thought to myself like if the Bahamas were firing rockets into Fort Lauderdale, like we would not accept that for like one minute. I mean, we would just level it. We would never be willing to live like that as Americans,” DeSantis said.
