The Biden administration "is going to charge people fleeing a war zone and then dump them in Greece ... They're not even bringing them back to the United States. So we have more flights coming ... We are taking people from Israel, but we're also going to stop in Athens, Greece, to pick up people that the federal government may have stranded, and so we anticipate many hundreds more that we'll be able to rescue over the next couple of days and we're happy to do it." -Governor Ron DeSantis

[PJMedia.com] Yesterday, we reported that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis cut through the red tape to rescue Floridians stranded in Israel. What we didn't know is that he's also planning to pick up non-Floridian Americans, as well as those Joe Biden dumped in Greece. (Screengrab image: via YouTube)

On Monday night, DeSantis told Megyn Kelly, "We knew there'd be people that wanted to get back, many hundreds, maybe even more than 1,000.

"So we had the first plane of 271 on Sunday night," he added, noting that there were 91 children onboard. "You know, I had mothers that were stranded with three or four kids. I had one family with ten kids that they were trying to get back to Florida."

The Biden administration "is going to charge people fleeing a war zone and then dump them in Greece," he added. "They're not even bringing them back to the United States. So we have more flights coming. The next one will be [Tuesday] morning. We are taking people from Israel, but we're also going to stop in Athens, Greece, to pick up people that the federal government may have stranded, and so we anticipate many hundreds more that we'll be able to rescue over the next couple of days and we're happy to do it."

He contrasted his actions with the Biden administration's open borders. "You can come across the southern border, and the federal government will fly you all across the country, free of charge. They'll put you up in nice hotels at taxpayer expense. They're not charging the illegal aliens"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
