Texas Governor Greg Abbott earlier today used migrants as a political stunt, dropping them off near Vice President Kamala Harris's home. Florida Gov. Ron DeathSantis spent a whopping $12 million in taxpayer money to own the libs by chartering private planes and sending undocumented immigrants to Martha's Vineyard.

Residents at Martha's Vineyard, in turn, treated the migrants well, giving them food and shelter. And that's because they are human beings, not livestock. You're not supposed to treat fellow human beings like dirt just because they are from another country and they're seeking a better life.

So, the JFK Library gave Republican Governors a history lesson. Most of us know this bit of shameful history, but apparently, Republicans failed on that subject.

"To embarrass Northern liberals and humiliate Black people, southern White Citizens Councils started their so-called "Reverse Freedom Rides," giving Black people one-way tickets to northern cities with false promises of jobs, housing, and better lives," the tweet reads.

If they're capable of feeling shame, this would be the time for them to sit in the corner and think about that terrible thing they've done.
