Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke out against President Biden’s gaffes during his trip to Vietnam, after honoring the thousands of Americans killed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
While Biden gave remarks 4,400 miles away in Anchorage, Alaska, DeSantis, taking a break from his 2024 presidential campaign, said he was invited by 9/11 families to attend the annual remembrance ceremony at Ground Zero. He notably sat among the public and not the politicians’ and dignitaries’ sections.
“I was walking around the site with the families. We would go to where their family members’ names were, and it was really emotional because they’re telling stories and the way they’ve done it is someone that passed away. The names of people that knew each other are close by,” he said Monday on “The Ingraham Angle.”
DeSantis added that the 9/11 attacks inspired him to join the military in the 2000s, and that he served in Iraq with the U.S. Navy.
