Florida-based Hispanic conservatives tell Fox News Digital their community largely approves of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ move to relocate migrants to Martha’s Vineyard despite the media narrative to the contrary.
Media Research Center Latino director Jorge Bonilla, who resides in Florida, believes coverage of the incident has been wildly dishonest. He took particular exception to a Politico piece headlined, “‘Huge mistake’: DeSantis’ migrant transports could undercut support in South Florida,” that claimed the decision “could hurt the Republican governor in November” when he faces Democratic challenger Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla.
“There are some who are speculating, openly speculating in media, that this is somehow going to be an issue going forward in the Florida gubernatorial election. I am here to disabuse everybody of that notion and to disavow that. I’m here to tell you right now… Martha’s Vineyard is not going to be dispositive in the 2022 Florida gubernatorial election,” Bonilla told Fox News Digital.
Politico reported a Crist ad attacking DeSantis over the move and quoted a pair of Democrats, including Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., before eventually noting that a conservative who spoke with the publication said relocating migrants would be a “successful” move for DeSantis. But the headline, which featured the “huge mistake” quote from a Democratic candidate for state Senate, was enough to irk Bonilla. “It is not dispositive for the 2022 Florida gubernatorial election, no matter how hard the media try to make it into a thing. It’s not going to be a thing, and I know that there’s items out there. I know that there’s coverage of this out there, but a lot of that is unfairly framed. It’s dishonestly framed. It’s politically framed,” Bonilla said. “This is a pure political exercise.”

Uh huh.
‘the decision “could hurt the Republican governor in November” when he faces Democratic challenger Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla.’
Yeah, let’s all be deebly goncerned about how this could hurt DeSantis. Lol.
Anyone who has been to MV and seen the school and YMCA would say these immigrants lucked out big time.
Regardless of what the asses in the “media” say, DeSantis scored big points by embarrassing the crap out of the Vineyard’s white elitists. I’m still laughing about it. Funnier than hell the way they threw the little brown people off their island. “No Immigrants Allowed!”
Don’t tell that rude Sunny host on TV.
When a liberal or Democrat gives you advise, do the exact opposite.
Desantis is on target. Hitting the liberals in the balls. Hope he continues on his present course.
