DeSantis Team Trolls Virtue-Signaling Democrats After Shipping Migrants to Martha’s Vineyard

by HANNAH BLEAU 16 Sep 2022

Christina Pushaw, the Rapid Response Director for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) reelection campaign, has gone on offense in recent days following the administration shipping migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, highlighting the hypocrisy of the those on the left, who claim to be so compassionate and open — until the issues come to their own back yard.

The DeSantis administration made waves this week after sending dozens of undocumented migrants to the upscale island, causing a stir among leftist elites who support sanctuary policies, although evidently only as long as those policies do not hit close to home.

Pushaw, a spokeswoman for the DeSantis campaign, is among those who has made it a mission, over the last two days, to put on display the stunning hypocrisy of the left.

Massachusetts State Rep. Dylan Fernandes (D), for example, boasted this week that his island “jumped into action” to take care of the migrants, prompting Pushaw to quip, “Great, then you won’t mind taking in a few thousand more.”

Our island jumped into action putting together 50 beds, giving everyone a good meal, providing a play area for the children, making sure people have the healthcare and support they need. We are a community that comes together to support immigrants.

Democrats, without even trying, proved her right, as the Martha’s Vineyard elites could not even make it two full days with the migrants on their island, before deciding to transport the migrants away from the area, reportedly to Base Cape Cod. This stands as a great irony, given the fact that several Democrats have been quick to state how “inhumane” and “disgusting” it is to relocate migrants. Yet, they are doing exactly that:

Wow! This Martha’s Vineyard Democrat doesn’t seem very welcoming or progressive. “We don’t have housing for 50 immigrants.” Uh, don’t the Obamas have a 10 bedroom mansion there? That will fit half of them.

Martha’s Vineyard claims to be a “sanctuary” jurisdiction that welcomes illegal aliens. Most of those multi million dollar mansions are summer homes that are vacant most of the year. They can be used to house thousands of illegal migrants.Time to walk the walk, Biden voters.

“Amazing, huh. Can’t tell you how many Democrats have been blowing up my phone today, seething about this and insisting that it’s a ‘mistake,’” Pushaw said on Thursday, continuing to showcase leftist hypocrisy.

“I am telling them not to worry, there are plenty of illegal migrants to go around if they want to house and feed some too #Equity!” she added.

Who know that all it would take was DeSantis flying some migrants into Martha's Vineyard for Democrats to show sudden interest in enforcing immigration law?

She also noted that several of the leftist Florida lawmakers complaining about the DeSantis administration’s move actually voted for the Freedom First budget, which specifically “creates a $12 million program within the Florida Department of Transportation to facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens out of Florida.”

Underrated aspect of Martha’s Vineyard meltdown today: The funding for transporting illegal aliens to sanctuary jurisdictions was a highlight of the budget @GovRonDeSantis signed MONTHS ago. Dem legislators performing outrage today voted for it Promises made, promises kept.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday also suggested the reaction shows that Democrats do not actually support sanctuary policies, observing that they suddenly “go berserk and they’re so upset that this is happening.”

“And it just shows you, you know, their virtue signaling is a fraud, ok?” he said, triggering applause.
“They are supporting policies that are just frankly indefensible. It is not defensible for a superpower to not have any control over the territory of its country, over the borders of its country,” the governor added.
