With the election a week and a day away — and early voting well along in the Sunshine State — GOP candidate Ron DeSantis (pictured above left) on Monday hammered his Democratic opponent in the Florida governor’s race on issues of corruption and radicalism.

DeSantis, a former U.S. representative who has trailed Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum (above right) since the start of the general election campaign, focused on the Democrat’s position on issues way outside the purview of state government.

The GOP nominee said on “The Laura Ingraham Show” on Monday morning that Gillum has no answer for why he signed a pledge from a group called Dream Defenders.

The group supports BDS, a Palestinian movement that seeks to end what it regards as Israel’s “occupation” of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

“We’re running for governor of Florida,” DeSantis said. “We’re not running for mayor of the Gaza Strip.”

Gillum has pushed back hard against the accusation he is anti-Israel. He said he supports a “two-state solution” and negotiations that would result in Israel and an independent Palestine existing side by side.

But critics of the Democratic nominee have pointed to a June 30 interview in which Gillum criticized the Israeli military’s response to rocket attacks from the Palestinian side on Israeli civilians as “outsized to the threat they’re attempting to squelch.”
