Ron DeSantis re-ups prediction that terror comes from the Mexican border
Ron DeSantis says Texas should give migrants the boot.

DeSantis
For the Governor, it's not if, but when.

Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to say that it’s only a matter of time before someone crossing the Mexican border into the U.S. is responsible for a terrorist attack.

“So you end up having people. We don’t know who they are. There’s Russians coming in across the border, there’s Iranians coming across, there’s Chinese coming across. I look at it and say, ‘Is there any way possible that we don’t have a terrorist attack in the future that can be linked to somebody across the border,'” DeSantis said in an episode of the Glenn Beck podcast that posted Saturday.

The Governor has struck these alarmist themes recently in an attempt to make the border issue work for his presidential campaign.

DeSantis, addressing supporters at a Never Back Down town hall event in Red Oak, Iowa on Sept. 16, cited Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ words as proof that aggressive enforcement needs to happen at the U.S.-Mexican border.

If it doesn’t, DeSantis expects a terror attack like that on Sept. 11, 2001.

“You look at what’s happening in New York City. You actually have the Mayor now of New York City, a liberal Mayor having to say that this open border is destroying the city because it is. You can’t do this. So, we see just the sheer number of people is too much,” said DeSantis, who went on to justify using “deadly force” against intruders with “hostile intent” such as alleged “cartel” members to “leave them stone cold dead at the border.”

DeSantis was in New York that week for Sept. 11 commemorations, which led him to renew his prediction that the porous southern border could lead to a 9/11-style terror attack.

“So, I was thinking of it, then I started thinking about, ‘OK, how did this actually happen to our country?’ And part of the reason it happened was because we had no control over who was coming into our country. Even back then, there (were) immigration issues that led to those people being able to do that,” DeSantis said before making his prediction.

“I would say that with Biden’s open border, there’s going to be someone that came through that border that will eventually commit a terrorist attack in the United States of America. I hope I’m wrong about that. But I think I’m right, and I think that that’s likely to happen.”

    Every day …. every speech…. DeSantis delivers a trough of red meat for Trump’s MAGA crowd. Unfortunately for Ron the rest of America interprets his wacko comments as incoherent incompetence.

    Pudgy fascist Ron DeSantis is openly racist and hateful and openly pines for the opportunity to shoot unarmed migrants. There’s a special place in hell awaiting he and his white trash family.

    When Florida sends their people, they’re not sending their best.
    They’re sending racists, and fascists and some I assume are good people.

    That’s nice. It was coming from there when he was a member of the House of Representatives – what did he do then?
