The Other McCain writes of a crisis so awful, so trying, that it threatened not just the people of Martha’s Vineyard, but, really, the entire nation. So harrowing was this humanitarian crisis, that the entire nation trembled in fear. It gripped the hearts of Americans and froze them. An America still trying to cope with the devastation of January 6th. An America under attack by terrorists, by rogue governors. But, my friends, we have persevered, and a new day, it seems is upon us. And, we have the brave residents of Martha’s Vineyard to thank. Forget the soldiers White Supremacists massacred at The Alamo. Forget Pearl Harbor, and the Oklahoma City bombing, those were piddling affairs when compared with the evil of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his followers. Dare not compare September 11th to the devastation DeSantis tried to inflict on the heroes of The Vineyard! Allow Mr. McCain to elaborate
By now you know the story: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent a planeload of 50 illegal immigrants from Venezuela to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, the island vacation resort where Barack Obama and other wealthy elites have private beachfront mansions. The affluent liberals of Martha’s Vineyard freaked out, and had the governor send in the National Guard to round up the Venezuelans and ship them off to a military base on Cape Cod. Hypocrisy exposed, mission accomplished.
During this comic escapade, however, an appeal showed up on GoFundMe, soliciting funds to address the “humanitarian crisis” in Martha’s Vineyard. Mia Cathell reports on who was behind that appeal:
The ultra-wealthy elites of Martha’s Vineyard launched a GoFundMe fundraiser over the island’s “humanitarian crisis” of (*finger-counts*) 50 migrants sent ashore by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). That’s right. The trust fund babies and Old Money socialites on Martha’s Vineyard, a well-known magnet for millionaires, CEOs, and celebrities, were soliciting online donations from middle-class Americans on the crowdfunding platform.
As of Friday afternoon, the affluent community’s “urgent plea” has raised over $42,000. The proceeds are benefiting the Martha’s Vineyard Community Foundation (MVCF) whose mission includes putting “charitable contributions to work for the people of Martha’s Vineyard by making grants that address community priorities” and “dispersing emergency response funding during extreme times of need.” MVCF builds and invests its endowment to “provide continued resources for enhance[ing] and preserving the quality of life on the Vineyard.”
MVCF is the permanent endowment for Martha’s Vineyard and has grown to assets under management of over $14 million dollars, according to its financials page. MVCF’s current causes accepting monetary gifts include the Climate Action Fund, which backs projects “that address the effects of climate change on the Island; the Islanders Write festival, a free event where authors come together “for robust conversation about the art, craft and business of writing;” and the Diversity Coalition Charitable Trust, which is dedicated to “eradicat[ing] racism,” understanding “the barriers that prevent equal rights for all,” and “ultimately eliminate inequality and injustice.”
In addition to the flow of GoFundMe sympathy cash, MVCF had established a separate Migrant Relief Fund, noting that it’s “concerned about the well[-]being of the migrants who have recently arrived on our island.” . . .
“Martha’s Vineyard is a community of open-hearted individuals that view these migrants as people, not political pawns,” the GoFundMe campaign’s description read overnight, right before the “immigrant-friendly,” welcoming “sanctuary destination” quickly bid adieu Friday morning to the dozens of migrants within a 48-hour period.
The fundraiser’s organizer, New York communications consultant Sarah Goulet, claimed the resort community “faces a shortage of affordable housing,” although dissidents in the island’s Facebook groups have called out their fellow liberals for not practicing what they preach by refusing to offer up their multiple summer rentals, which remain vacant most of the year. . .
It goes on, the saga of these heroes who saved their beloved homes from, well those who, you know, do not, shall we say “look like” the others on Martha’s Vineyard. I mean, yes, there was room for the 50 migrants, but those people, while they are OK mowing lawns and such, surely should be somewhere else. Apparently Texas, and Arizona are good places for them. Those are fine locations, jut as long as the Vineyard’s glory and, well, supremacy are preserved.
Please go read McCain’s whole piece. It exposes just how condescending these leftists really are. They are for “JUSTICE” and “Equity”, and “Open Borders”, and will surely recite the line that no person is illegal! How gallant they are, these heroes. They will stand, fight, and never surrender! Unless they are asked to share, in any meaningful manner, in dealing with millions of undocumented aliens. Those tasks are left to those EVIL Red States apparently. Those states dare to say those immigrants should stay in their own countries! How Racist! Yet, do not expect the snobs on Martha’s Vineyard to show immigrants hospitality or charity. Those things are for “other” states!
