Haley Campaign Press Release - DeSantis Campaigns with Anti-Israel Congressman

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Ron DeSantis is campaigning in Fort Dodge and Johnston, Iowa tomorrow with a "special guest," Rep. Thomas Massie. DeSantis doesn't tell you that Massie is the most anti-Israel Republican in the entire GOP and often votes against recognizing Israel's right to exist, condemning Hamas and antisemitism, and sanctioning Iran.

"Ron DeSantis needs to explain to Iowa voters why he is palling around with an anti-Israel congressman who votes to undermine Israel and foster antisemitism," said Haley spokesperson Nachama Soloveichik. "Iowans deserve to know what Ron DeSantis really believes."
