Ron DeSantis Visits Morning Joe (Seriously), Gets Pressed By Scarborough on Trump Exposing Iran Invasion Plans

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) stepped into the lion’s den by appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

DeSantis joined Morning Joe on Tuesday but with a key caveat —as Joe Scarborough pointed right at the top that the conversation would gravitate around the Israel-Hamas war instead of domestic political matters.

“If you’re tuning in and expecting a conversation on domestic politics and the many things that we disagree on… We can have those debates on another day,” Scarborough told viewers.

Of course, since DeSantis is still a 2024 presidential candidate, it was perhaps inevitable that American politics came front and center when the conversation arrived at the subject of Donald Trump.

As DeSantis argued Trump had a better approach to Iran than other U.S. presidents, he made the case that “If the election is about Joe Biden’s failures and our positive vision for the future — which it would be if I was the candidate — we will win. If it is about what piece of paper or document was left at the toilet at Mar-a-Lago, or all these other things on January 6th. If that’s what the election is about, then it is going to allow Biden to be in his basement, and they’re going to be able to do it again.”

Scarborough emphasized he didn’t plan to bring this issue up, but since DeSantis did, he confronted the governor on Trump’s classified documents scandal. Scarborough noted that Trump was caught on tape showing off “highly confidential” documents about Iran, which might be relevant to the current geopolitical discourse about Iran’s backing of Hamas.

“Are you concerned by the fact that President Trump revealed war plans to invade Iran?” Scarborough asked. “Military attacks against Iran to people that didn’t have classified ability to see those documents?”

“I think that’s an allegation. It remains to be seen,” DeSantis answered. “Obviously, if it is proven, that would be a different thing.”
