DeSantis Wonders if Antisemitic Opponent Gillum Is ‘Running for Mayor of the Gaza Strip’

Gillum is very close to terror-tied jihad group CAIR, and has aligned himself with several prominent antisemitic organizations known for promoting boycotts of Jewish goods and individuals.

DeSantis Wonders if Gillum Is ‘Running for Mayor of the Gaza Strip

By Brendan Kirby | Monday, October 29, 2018

With the election a week and a day away — and early voting well along in the Sunshine State — GOP candidate Ron DeSantis (pictured above left) on Monday hammered his Democratic opponent in the Florida governor’s race on issues of corruption and radicalism.

DeSantis, a former U.S. representative who has trailed Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum (above right) since the start of the general election campaign, focused on the Democrat’s position on issues way outside the purview of state government.

The GOP nominee said on “The Laura Ingraham Show” on Monday morning that Gillum has no answer for why he signed a pledge from a group called Dream Defenders.

The group supports BDS, a Palestinian movement that seeks to end what it regards as Israel’s “occupation” of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

“We’re running for governor of Florida,” DeSantis said. “We’re not running for mayor of the Gaza Strip.”

Gillum has pushed back hard against the accusation he is anti-Israel. He said he supports a “two-state solution” and negotiations that would result in Israel and an independent Palestine existing side by side.

But critics of the Democratic nominee have pointed to a June 30 interview in which Gillum criticized the Israeli military’s response to rocket attacks from the Palestinian side on Israeli civilians as “outsized to the threat they’re attempting to squelch.”

If Gillum becomes governor, they SHOULD be scared. VERY frightened, indeed.

That he has any lead at all is proof positive that Floridian voters are very stupid, gullible, weak-minded, fickle, flighty, unreliable, have very short memories and attention spans, and border on being fundamentally and profoundly retarded. These voters are easily jerked around, led by the nose, distracted by the left-wing noise machine, and swayed entirely by emotion, leaving their brains behind at the door of the voting precinct. That 18-24 year olds are, by a plurality, supportive of socialism as this snake-oil salesman is pushing, is proof positive of: a) the degree of leftist brainwashing, indoctrination and radicalization in our schools, universities and colleges; b) the utter ignorance of that age group of American and world history; and c) why they are essentially a lost cause and why the voting age should be raised to at least 26.

Major question is, who is “reporting” that he’s “in the lead”?

Gillum is another toxic muslim loving socialist who should NOT be allowed anywhere near the USA’s politics. Floridians have been given many clues on why they should NOT vote for Gillum.

You know it and I know it. But far too many are too stupid, gullible, weak-minded, fickle and easily influenced by leftist propaganda, to notice the signs until it’s way too late.

Gillum will ruin Florida…no borders, 40% tax increase on all businesses,no police, no ICE…can you protect your families? your children?. I can go on and on. He ruined Tallahassee as mayor. He lies. He’s still being investigated by the FBI. Do you REALLY want him as governor of Florida…REALLY??? Do you have those “virtue signals” in your yard? I call them “Self promotion signs”. If you love this state and this country vote straight republican…and yes I even have to puke before I fill in the blank on some of them. The demonrat party is the party of hate and mob violence. Yeah, I said it; MOB VIOLENCE… and don’t forget Pelosi and her veiled threats of “collateral damage” if they don’t win…and of course everyone can’t forget Auntie Maxine. These people need to go to jail for a long time for inciting violence after we win the midterms.Oh and so does Soros. There is a congressional investigation starting on him now for helping fund the caravans.

You are not exaggerating. I wish you were.
That is what Florida will get and the problematic people will spread into other states. Once they come here, they don’t necessarily stay in Florida or California, they move around into OUR neighborhoods or pass through them causing mayhem. What one state allows does affect the rest of us.

It’s so bad now that we are affected by whatever happens no matter what state you live in. Trump is the only one who has kept his promises and has stood up for all of us. I love the guy and always will. He’s a tough New Yorker and a street fighter and he earned those billions all by himself. He’s generous and most importantly CANNOT be bought. He makes the left insane. He always wins.

Gillum is really bad. DeSantis has to sharpen up. DeSantis is not quick on his feet and lets him get away with crap. I hope we don’t lose Florida. Gillum is quite a liar and I think he even surprised DeSantis at the ease and fluidity that he lies. For Gillim there is no lie to big to tell. Gillum is just like Obama!

For the Presidential election they under counted the GOP vote by 3%. If they under count the GOP vote by 1%, we still keep the house. Just speculating I think we have the Senate. I hope and think we will keep the House but I am just speculating. I know they play games with polling and maybe why things are tightening up. Even pollsters like to keep some credibility as the race comes to a close.

Christians and our Jewish friends, please pray for Trump. He needs our prayers. The absolute EVIL going on is unfathomable! President Trump needs super natural strength to carry on. I hope he doesn’t have a stroke or worse. It wasn’t highlighted too much but there have been assassination attempts on Trump and Melania that were thwarted. The pressure must be enormous. for Trump and his wife. Sure Trump could leave office in some form and live comfortably but his mission is to salvage our country. Trump is old school and diligent. He gives 110%. I remember him finishing his last rally when he ran for President and being up at 3AM watching it. If Trump can get, even the RINO’s back in, they will OWE him and he will call them on it. Let’s call on God for His help for Trump to do that.

I guarantee you that no one who Trump ran against would have been fighting as hard as he is for us. They would have been like Bush, at best, carrying a book around called, media bias or something like that and going along with the status quo. Recall how GWB laughed when he stated “wall street got drunk” and we had the market crash. Now we can see why the Bush family voted for Hillary. Pelosi was honest for once in her life, when she said it didn’t matter who was voted in. So let’s keep Trump and his family in our prayers.

Sort of like Marion Barry, who was mayor of DC. He was repeatedly reelected, essentially no matter what.

There was actually a HBO movie about him, “The Nine Lives of Marion Barry”. I’m not necessarily endorsing Gillum, but sometimes voters will vote for someone no matter what.

I hope the Florida voters are thoughtful in casting their votes.

The two state ‘solution’ IS antisemitic. The leftists know this, but as usual try to cover up their obsessive compulsive hatred of Jews and Israel.

The only channel I can’t watch today with spectrum, owned by Time Warner, in pascoe county FL is…fox news. Just a black screen.

Brilliant strategy by trump. Called a black man a theif, knowing how the media heads would explode and call it racist, also got them to talk about the corruption they weren’t talking about before. He is their puppetmaster.

I agree that Andrew Gillum is bad for politics, humanity, and especially Florida, where I live. I see him as an “Obama Wannabe.” He runs a city that is dying from poverty and crime. So, naturally, he is anti-police and won’t say where his campaign money is coming from, and it is not from the NRA. (Perhaps an FBI slush fund)? He is anti-Israel and pro-Hamas. He is also a racist.
During a TV debate with Ron DeSantis, he demanded to be called MISTER Gillum, instead of Andrew. He is a career politician, and has never worked in the private sector.
One reason Americans hate Obama is because it forced Obamacare on us with false promises. Sure, if we could get cheap healthcare, who would not want it? So Obama promised us that his plan would save us money and allow us to keep our doctors. Obama lied about that, didn’t he? But before he tried Obamacare, Bill Clinton had already tried to passhealthcare legislation. He enlised Hillary to write the plan. She tried, twice, then gave up. Obama was smarter. He did not try to write a healthcare bill. Instead, he made deals with the Insurance Companies, and let them write it. It cost him nothing, but it was his sales job to sell it to us, and he forced it on us. The insurance companies made him wealthy. They lost nothing.
The truth is, healthcare is not a Right. Insurance companies have to make a profit. Their charge is based on how risky your health is, and build in a profit. That is how insurance works. That is why it should be private, or going the other way, paid entirely by the Federal Government. Gillum works for Big Pharma, so he wants to keep Obamacare. Sorry, Andy, but that’s a losing proposition, and I am not buying it. I am also not buying a 38% tax increase you called for, and do not want to have a State Income Tax. As mentioned before, he never had to work for a living, but can’t explan those trips he took or who paid for what.
He is not good for us Floridians. He is corrupt. He is a hater. He is a racist. I am sure he is a friend of Louis Farrakhan too.
