Haley Campaign Press Release - Ron DeSantis Lying About Support From Chinese Company

When Nikki Haley asked Ron DeSantis why he takes contributions from a China-backed company, iGas, DeSantis said, "It's an American company."

No it's not.

The Miami Herald: "Corporate records and court filings show that a state-controlled Chinese company owns around a third of iGas USA. American competitors of iGas have charged in comments to the EPA that the Tampa company's import of cheap, Chinese-made refrigerants has hurt domestic producers."

DeSantis happily takes cash from iGas.

• This August, DeSantis took a check for more than $11,000 from the CEO of iGas, a Tampa refrigerant company with direct backing from China.
• Last year DeSantis even held a rally at the Chinese-backed refrigerant company's Tampa complex.
• iGas and its employees have made more than $1.1 million in federal and state political contributions in the past five years, with $340,000 of that money going to DeSantis and his committees.
