It’s like the losers criticizing Governor DeSantis for making sure that Floridians trapped in Israel got out of the country are just clowns at this point, or something.

When DeSantis announced he signed an executive order to authorize rescue operations to bring home stranded Floridians via chartered planes, lame losers were quick to remind DeSantis that he is “only” a governor and has no power to do that. Naturally CNN senior political correspondent Adam Kinzinger was quick to criticize.

Cry harder, Adam.

Imagine being such a tool of the left in order to keep a job with CNN. Kinzinger is blasting a governor for bringing residents of his state home in an emergency situation. Does he think that DeSantis should have ignored pleas for help like Joe Biden does when Americans overseas need help?

Well, Adam, the first plane carrying 300 Floridians home landed at Tampa International Airport on Sunday night and the governor and his wife, Casey, were there to greet them. Sorry to disappoint Kinzinger but when DeSantis says he is doing something, he gets it done. That’s his brand. He keeps his word and gets stuff done. It’s how he turned a purplish swing state into a bright red state. His record of governing in Florida is stellar.

Project DYNAMO did the work.

“Once the plane landed in Tampa, evacuees were able to access resources from multiple state agencies. Additionally, the governor is sending medical supplies, hygiene products, clothing and children’s toys to Israel to help impacted Israelis,” the news release said.

Bryan Stern, CEO and founder of Project DYNAMO, the search and rescue non-profit organization that facilitated the flight, told reporters that 270 people were on board the plane. The rescuees included 91 children and four dogs, Stern said. Many people on the plane cried when it touched down in Tampa, he added.

DeSantis knew he could do what he was doing when he signed the executive order. The EO enabled Florida Division of Emergency Management to bring Floridians home and to transport supplies to Israel. Competence is refreshing, isn’t it?

“I am proud of how quickly we have been able to activate resources and do what the federal government could not — get Floridians and other Americans back home, reunited with their families, free of charge,” DeSantis said in Sunday’s news release.

More than 20,000 U.S. citizens are stranded in Israel and Gaza and reaching out to the State Department for help in leaving Israel. Good luck to them.
