DeSantis Again Claims His Prayers Stopped Hurricane

“We all were able to do some prayers at the Western Wall. And so you write the little note, you put it in the crevice there. And when I got back from doing that, I was asked by the media, what did you pray for? I said, ‘I pray that we don’t have any hurricanes this summer in Florida.’

“Well, fast forward a couple of months and we have a hurricane that developed in the Caribbean called Hurricane Dorian. And it was a Category 5, massive, massive hurricane barreling straight to the east coast of Florida.

“And when that path was there, there were some people that were snickering at me saying, well, that prayer must not have gone very far.

“And yet, within 48 hours, that storm took a 90-degree turn to the north and it did not hit the state of Florida. We were free and clear.” – Ron DeSantis, speaking at the Christians United For Israel conference.

Earlier this year, DeSantis made the same claim during a visit to Jerusalem. Hurricane Dorian killed 84 and caused billions in damage to the Bahamas. 

“My support for Israel is not my first rodeo either,” DeSANTIS says here at the Christians United For Israel summit just outside DC. His speech comes amid turbulence for his presidential campaign: donors grumbling, staff being offloaded, and polls stalled. https://t.co/0qKgPXkaQU

Why would the people of Florida care if Ron DeSantis is pro-Israel? He just spoke to Christians United for Israel, the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States, with over 10 million members. It is a cover organization for an “End-Timers” cult. pic.twitter.com/DPOC3ZmDMN
