    Default Sick Political Stunts

    It's a shame so many of our RW friends here struggle with reading. This article is eye-opening, but only when the mind is also open.

    The Story Behind DeSantis’s Migrant Flights to Martha’s Vineyard

    In the case of the flights to Martha’s Vineyard, Florida state records show that an airline charter company, Vertol Systems, was paid $615,000 on Sept. 8 and $950,000 less than two weeks later. The first payment was for “project 1” and the second payment for “projects two and three.” So far, Florida officials have acknowledged only the initial flights and have not spoken of plans for others.

    The money to fly migrants came from a special $12 million appropriation in the state’s last budget, a brief item that gave funds to the state’s Department of Transportation to create a program “to facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens from this state.

    ...

    Beth Folcarelli, the chief executive at the center, Martha’s Vineyard Community Services, said she was in her office talking to a senior staff member at about 3:45 p.m. when outside the window they spotted a group of people walking in the nonprofit’s direction.

    “The people approaching looked inquisitive, and like they were looking for help,” she recalled. She stepped out to ask what they needed.

    All she understood were the words “Venezuela” and “refugees,” so she rushed inside for help from a manager named Geany Rolanti, who speaks Spanish.

    Eventually, 48 people from the flights, including several children, had gathered in the nonprofit’s parking lot.

    The aid group workers were stumped: Who are you? How did you get here?

    A migrant told them that they had been promised that the community service organization would help them with housing and a job.

    Soon, the migrants were receiving items from a community thrift shop, Chicken Alley: trousers, T-shirts, shoes. Stores in the area donated underwear. An island hotline was inundated with calls from people who wished to help. Donations and volunteers poured into the church where the migrants spent two nights sleeping on cots.

    Staff members at the community center in Martha’s Vineyard arranged for a migrant named Pablo to call home to Venezuela, Ms. Rolanti said. He appeared broken.

    “My love, we were tricked,” he told his wife, weeping uncontrollably. “This woman lied to us. She lied.”
    I'm sure the good people of Florida are proud to have their taxes dollars wasted on cruel political stunts.

    The people of Martha's vineyard stepped up and told everyone how Christians are supposed to behave. If Desantis claims to be a Christian he just struck out.

    They did not just tell us, they showed us by their actions. If they were as vile as DeSatan, they would have put them back on a plane and dropped them off at DeSatan's FL mansion, or at the gates of Mar-A-Lardo, but they didn't.

    So Christ would ship them off to the Cape of Cod ?

    No. Nor would he expect Caesar to handle them.

    How is that different than shipping them out o FLA ?

    Turns out abusing weak marginalized families is not the political gold mine DeSatin thought it would be.

    No, I’m saying shipping vulnerable families to places they never heard about, with lies about jobs and assistance, and abandoning them for a culture war game to get votes is shameful.

    Picking on weak families, because you think it might help you get some votes, even though it further traumatizes those seeking escape from communism, is shameful. The strong should help the weak, not use them in a culture war game.

    Most people wouldn’t mind being shipped off to Cape Cod, and the point you are missing is that DeSantis did it all covertly, lying to nearly everyone involved, basically pimped refugees to get his face on Fox

    I doubt they were aghast at going to MV. Not much danger of hurricanes there.

    Not too many titty bars though. Or girls to rape.

    Yeah because every person from some country where they aren't white is looking for girls to rape. You are sick.

    They weren't in Florida and they were here legally under a temporary status.

    The whole thing was engineered by Desantis using taxpayer money and dirty tricks for the sole purpose of getting him good face time on Fox.
