  • Gov. Ron DeSantis has slammed Donald Trump for calling Hezbollah "very smart."
  • Trump was weighing in on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas at a rally in Florida.
  • DeSantis said he thought it was absurd that Trump would praise the armed group. 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis finally gloved up and went after his onetime mentor, former President Donald Trump, after the latter called the armed group Hezbollah "very smart."

DeSantis wrote in a Wednesday post on X that "it is absurd that anyone, much less someone running for President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel, much less praise Hezbollah terrorists as 'very smart.'"
