Ron DeSantis bragged about sending help to Iowa — 10 hours after being told it wasn't needed
On June 5, at 8:06 p.m., Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tweeted that he was sending Florida personnel to assist Iowa with a disastrous building collapse in Davenport.
“We are proud to help the people of Iowa,” he wrote, touting his role in helping the first state in the GOP presidential primary calendar.
Yet what DeSantis didn’t say — and what NBC News has learned through a public records request — was that more than 10 hours earlier, the mission had been canceled and Iowa had informed the DeSantis administration that its help was no longer needed.
