Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis lashed out at President Biden on Saturday amid a chaotic scene in the Middle East, accusing the U.S. commander in chief of "sleeping on the job" as Israel attempts to defend itself from Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists. DeSantis' comments, offered to reporters during one of his presidential campaign stops in Iowa, came after Hamas terrorists launched thousands of rockets into Israel early on Saturday morning.

Matt Gaetz who introduced a motion to vacate the speakership.  "I don't know what's i...
