Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis didn't handle the pandemic well in his state. If you ask Trump supporters, he did a great job -- by ignoring science and safety guidelines. And now officials with the Treasury Department are launching an investigation "as quickly as possible" into DeSantis's use of COVID-19 funds to transport migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard as a political stunt while treating the migrants like livestock.
Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey announced the investigation in a tweet Tuesday night, saying that it centers around whether DeSantis's political stunt could be considered a misuse of taxpayer funds.
Migrants seeking a better life were lied to in order to get them to agree to go to Martha's Vineyard, Mass. The group of migrants was promised housing and employment. Cruelty is the key with Republicans. The crueler they become, the more popular they become.
There has been speculation of a DeSantis 2024 run for the GOP nomination, which would freak Lumpy out. However, the two have much in common. Just like Trump proved himself to be a careless and fatuous president, DeSantis would just be more of the same. He offers nothing. No fundamental ideas or new policies. Nothing to help those in need. Nothing to offer the middle class. He just tries to gin up his supporters by demeaning the press. Sound familiar?
