Florida newspaper disgusted by Republicans refusing to disavow Nazi and white supremacist supporters It's only been a few weeks since President Joe Biden made a speech calling out violent domestic terrorism from white supremacists, militia groups, neo-Nazis and others that have been embraced under the MAGA banner. Now the Miami Herald is concerned that too many of these groups are within Florida's borders and they're part of Gov. Ron DeSantis' (R-FL) supporters. In an Editorial Board piece on Thursday, the Herald explained that these "extremists don’t always wear white robes and burn crosses." But they were certainly breaking through the windows of the Capitol on Jan. 6. they were flying swastika flags over interstate overpasses, they harassed those they believed were Jewish and people of color, they staged an event outside of a right-wing conference and held a rally outside of Disney World. Groups like these were once hidden behind hoods and shamed into the dark corners of the internet. That is no longer the case, however. They've removed their hoods to march with tiki torches in Charlottesville and some replaced them with white gaiter face covering and ballcaps. The Herald remarked that anyone concerned about what they've seen have been labeled by conservatives as "hysterical liberals." Any time that DeSantis is asked about it, he refuses to give an answer, instead saying Democrats are "trying to 'smear' him with the Jewish community and calling demonstrators 'jackasses' and 'malcontents.'" It shouldn't be difficult to reaffirm opposition to Nazis while also attacking Democrats, yet, DeSantis never manages it. The Proud Boys growing in numbers in the Miami-Dade County GOP led the Herald Board to start asking Republican candidates about it.
While this is absolutely true and it's only becoming a logistic issue, that fucking DINO in NY is already telegraphing revisiting sanctuary city/state norms.
DeSantis: Biden's American Rescue Plan is bad. Also DeSantis: Hey, first responders, I'm giving you all $1,000 bonuses . Journalists: And just where do you think that money came from?

A sure way to show that you care about the "problem at the border" is to put the undocumented in a position where they can apply for paperwork: https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/...ms-of-criminal-activity-u-nonimmigrant-status
If the practice of involuntarily shipping people north to humiliate all involved sounds familiar, you wouldn't be wrong.
It would be one thing if DeSantis was sending the immigrants from his own state and hence was addressing an actual issue with housing illegal immigrants in his own state... but he took the immigrants from Texas. Which makes this nothing more than an abusive publicity stunt. The surprising details behind DeSantis’ and Abbott’s immigration stunts https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/15/politics/migrant-buses-desantis-abbott-what-matters/index.html Republican governors are in a cynical competition to outdo each other and send migrants from the US border by bus to New York, Washington, DC, Chicago and, now, by plane to Martha’s Vineyard. Two unannounced planes carrying an estimated 50migrants landed in the wealthy seaside enclave of Massachusetts on Wednesday night, surprising locals. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed credit for the stunt, which took the migrants from Texas, not Florida, and left them without planning on the street. (Much more at above url)
