(The Guardian) New DeSantis migrant flight 'heading for Delaware'
Ron DeSantis is refusing to confirm reports that he’s sent another planeload of migrants that reports suggest will imminently touch down in Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware.
The White House on Tuesday decried as “a political stunt” the Republican Florida governor’s action to dump about 50 Venezuelan migrants in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, last week, and today’s reported flight from Texas of more to a small airport in Delaware.
The Biden administration was “coordinating” with federal and local authorities in Delaware to aid those on the flight, the White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at her afternoon briefing. She said DeSantis had not attempted to contact the administration: Alerting Fox News, and not city or state officials about a plan to abandon children fleeing communism on the side of the street is not burden sharing. It is a cruel, premeditated political stunt.
DeSantis, speaking at a morning press conference in Bradenton, Florida, refused to say he was behind today’s reported flight of migrants to Delaware, WESH2 News said. -- “I cannot confirm that, I can’t,” DeSantis said when asked by reporters if he had arranged the flight.
He also defended dropping off the Massachusetts migrants with no notice, blamed the government, and attempted to paint himself as their savior: Those migrants were being treated horribly by Biden. They were hungry, homeless, had no opportunity at all.
