Ron DeSantis Announces More Migrant Flights Will Happen After Midterms

Florida governor Ron DeSantis is planning on wasting more of the state's money with even more flights to ship migrants to blue states. He says the plan is to resume the operation in early December, after the midterms and once the tragedy of Hurricane Ian is long forgotten by the rest of the country. The real irony is that he could still be facing a major investigation over the first flight, and he's already planning on doing it again without a second thought. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

We've been on a bit of a round and about carousel down here in the state of Florida for many weeks with Ron DeSantis, of course, with his migrant flight. The mystery woman, Perla Juerta, the investigation taking place at that, uh, Texas Sheriff's Office into what happened. Then, of course we had Hurricane Ian and Florida had to basically import a bunch of migrant workers, including some from New York and Boston, uh, to come down here to help with the cleanup because we didn't have enough people. So we had to sheepishly be like, Hey, uh, yeah, remember when we sent you to Martha's Vineyard? Crazy story. Can you come back and, uh, help us rebuild because we can't do it ourselves. We're very incompetent. And they came, they came. They've been getting paid, thank God, and they're doing the work that we can't. They're helping us out in our time of need. These migrants are so, what is our governor Ron DeSantis doing to repay them? Well, according to an interview he recently did on the Hugh Hewitt show with guest host Kurt Schlicter, Ron DeSantis says, Oh boy, those migrant flights, of course have been put on hold because, you know, we had to deal with a hurricane and, and they're helping us, but, uh, we're gonna have some more happening. You know, hopefully by December 1st he says,

Even though, even after he did the first flight, and then he did his press conference and he mentioned that, Oh, we don't really have a problem here in Florida. They're coming onesies, twosies. Remember that? So we don't have a problem here in Florida. He says, But he's telling us after we have relied on this migrant labor to help us rebuild after the hurricane. He's like, Oh yeah, I'm gonna do more flights. I'm gonna send these sobs packing up to Blue States, cuz screw 'em right in your hour of need. The people that helped you out were Democrats from the Biden administration and migrants, immigrants. Those are the two groups that swooped in and saved this God forsaken state down here in Florida. And Ron DeSantis is already saying, Oh, I can't wait to ship these sobs outta here. Oh boy, it's gonna be fun.

And he is gonna win. He's gonna win. He's gonna win reelection, he's gonna get another four years. We're gonna see more political stunts like these, and then the next time there is a hurricane in Florida, which yeah, there'll be a next time if we don't have another one this year, it'll be next year or the next one, or the next one. Probably all of the above because it's Florida, it's what happens. And as soon as that next catastrophe hits what's gonna happen in this state, we're gonna start shipping all those migrant workers back, because by God we can't do it without you. Our economy is completely dependent upon migrant workers, upon immigrants coming into the state and helping us. But Ron DeSantis would rather shoot his own state in the foot to cripple us by sending these migrants away than have to admit that we need them. That's what he's doing. It's a stupid strategy. It's heartless, it's cruel, but with the brain dead Republicans here in this state, it's absolutely gonna get DeSantis four more years.
