Gov. DeSantis again caused a national kerfuffle after sending 2 planes carrying 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, literally the million-dollar “sanctuary” doorstep of wealthy elite liberals like former president Obama, who vote for open-border and sanctuary city policies. After about 36 hours of uproar by the left, Martha’s Vineyard had already done a cute photo/video op of feeding the few dozen illegal immigrants, declared it a humanitarian disaster, and deployed the Massachusetts National Guard who loaded the illegal immigrants onto buses to take them to a military base. Because clearly, they couldn’t stay on the island. It’s Martha’s Vineyard, after all.
HAPPENING NOW: Migrants, flown into Martha’s Vineyard by Fl’s governor, are boarding buses. They’ll be heading to Joint Base Cape Cod, according to officials. 125 Mass National Guard members are being activated to assist. @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/RLwxNPu8GM

So DeSantis took the podium with a scathing condemnation for the outrageously hypocritical response to these 50 Martha’s Vineyard immigrants by the media, politicians, and Biden’s Administration.
He calls out Biden for “scrambling to get his cabinet together” to deal with frustrated governors relocating illegal immigrants. He says,
“He didn’t scramble to get his cabinet together when we had millions of people illegally pouring across the southern border.
He didn’t scramble to get his cabinet together when you had 43, 53 migrants die in some trailer in Texas because they were neglected by the federal government.
You didn’t see him scramble to get his cabinet together when we had Americans that were victimized by criminal aliens that he let across the border.
You didn’t see him scramble to get his cabinet together when we hit record fentanyl deaths, which that fentanyl is coming across his open border.
It’s only when you have 50 illegal aliens end up in a very wealthy, rich, sanctuary enclave that he decides to scramble on this.
I think what we are continuing to do is use every tool at our disposal to insulate the state of Florida from the negative ramifications of his reckless border policies…
Instead of scrambling and worrying about a bunch of rich people… why not actually look at what’s going on.”
He also took aim at the hypocritical media by pointing out that over the last 36 hours, Martha’s Vineyard has played host to more mainstream media “corporate journalists than have ever gone down to the southern border to look what’s going on. Why don’t you go down there and look what some of those communities have to deal with every day?”
Take a listen to his incredible clapback.
