DeSantis Suggests He Personally Prayed a Hurricane Away From Florida [View all]

DeSantis Suggests He Personally Prayed a Hurricane Away From Florida (Rolling Stone)

The Florida governor suggested during a speech in Israel that his prayers on the Western Wall spared the state the effects of Hurricane Dorian

Why nuke a hurricane when you can simply pray it away? Speaking at the Museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem on Friday, as part of his multi-day visit to the country, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recalled his visit to the Western Wall during a separate trip in 2019.

“The only thing I can tell you” DeSantis said, “is my prayer in 2019 was that we would be spared the upcoming hurricane season in the state of Florida.”
