And by launches attack, I mean sending illegal aliens there! And, Rachel Maddow is, wait for it, OUTRAGEOUSLY OUTRAGED by this OUTRAGE!
Some Republican governors, including Texas’ Greg Abbott and Arizona’s Doug Ducey, have spent much of the year busing migrants to northern cities. By most measures, the trips have been clumsy political stunts, using desperate people as props
This week, it appears Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took the campaign in an uglier direction. The Associated Press reported overnight:
Oh NO! Not an, an, an ugly direction!
At this point, there are some relevant questions about details that remain murky. The Florida Republican was quick to claim responsibility for shipping the migrants to the small Massachusetts town, but The New York Times reported that the migrants themselves said they had started the day in San Antonio, Texas.
It’s also unclear what the migrants were promised. One told The Vineyard Gazette that they were assured there’d be “work and housing“ when they arrived, raising concerns about who may have lied to them, why, and whether someone perpetrated a fraud as part of this scheme.
OH GOOD FREAING GRIEF! Maddow and the drama. But, she is fighting for the taxpayers here!
As for the financing, a report from a local ABC affiliate added, “It was not immediately clear who paid for the private charter flights to the island; however, the statement from the governor’s spokesperson said the Florida Legislature appropriated $12 million to implement a program to facilitate the transport of undocumented immigrants from the state.”
In other words, it would appear DeSantis and his team may have used taxpayer money to fling desperate migrant families at Martha’s Vineyard as part of an apparent election-season stunt.
See! Tax payer dollars to FLING migrants! DeSantis FLUNG them. Some of these people were, no doubt, mothers, so, shocking as it is, Maddow has blown up the scandal of the year! That’s right. DeSantis is a mother flinger! DAMN HIM!
