    Do you think he used the massive state income tax for this?

    He used tax payer money. What revenue source still wasn’t his personal money but the state of Florida. also in the flight to Marthas Vineyard the money went to a politically connected vendor and not through an open bid process.

    as it turns out I’m also an FL taxpayer as I have some business dealings there now. I’m not happy to see money spent on this. I certainly would be against Governor Walz doing something like this too.

    you often express opposition to virtue signalling yet you’re all for these stunts.

    Also to add even if FL doesn’t have an income tax it does have property taxes. If you’re living in FL you’re paying those.

    This gets worse and worse as more details come out. It's definitely human trafficking

    Here's an excerpt:

    A Venezuelan man said he was lured to a distant motel with his wife and four children for three days, Maynard said. He became suspicious and pulled out after being told he would have to fly separately and the rest of his family would follow on a different flight because there wasn’t enough room for them to go together.

    The man didn’t know where the motel was, but Maynard suspects it was in Deming, New Mexico, which was where the charter flights departed for Sacramento. The family hitchhiked back to Sacred Heart.

    A passenger who was on the first flight called the Venezuelan migrant to say he had been duped, Maynard said.

    “Don’t come. It’s a scam. There are no jobs here, there is no room and board. They just dumped us in the middle of nowhere at this church and no one knows what’s going on,” the Venezuelan migrant recounted being told.

    Not even close, no matter how many times you repeat that wrong statement.

    Is it a political stunt? Yes.

    Was anyone harmed? No.

    Is it good to expose the hypocrisy of rich leftist fake virtue signalers like Newsom? Yes.

    Didn't you reply to someone acknowledging this isn't true and that leftists came and stepped up to help those migrants?

    And Newsom is a leftist? He wants workers to own the means of production? He seems like your generic neo-liberal who doesn't really have an ideology besides having power and being seen favorably by the public.

    This virtue signaling by DeSantis is illegal. He ran a scam to move victimized people - and yes they were harmed.

    Your hero is going to face criminal charges for this.

    You are the only poster here who actually is a fan of a politician. That's pathetic.

    Aside from the fact that that post was disgusting and way over the line even for the D&D, it is interesting that @VooDooPope seems to think being taken to Democratic Governor Newsom's state is equivalent to being taken to Auschwitz.
