CNN)The relocation of about 50 migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, initiated this week by Florida's governor, has revived memories of strikingly similar tactics employed by southern segregationists 60 years ago.

In 1962, a group of conservatives, intent on retaliating against desegregation efforts during the civil rights movement, funded one-way trips to the north for Black citizens, in what they called "Reverse Freedom Rides." Hundreds of Black Americans were transported to cities such as New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, recruited by members of a segregationist group called the White Citizens' Council, with false promises of jobs and housi

Oh my freaking God, these liberals are totally nuts.

Abbott and Desantis hit paydirt sending the invaders into liberal "sanctuary" enclaves.

The hypocrisy is amazing.

This kind of “reporting” is why CNN is not taken seriously.

But it’s not ‘Reverse Freedom Rides’ when Brandon flies them all around the country in the dead of night.

I know Governor DeSantis will not cave it’s Abbott I’m worried about! He leans more into the RINO territory! He’s running a cool comfortable race against the fake Mexican and leading in the polls but the establishment might scare the dickens out of him and he might get cold feet! The pushback by the mediademons has been hot and heavy and might make Abbott a tad nervous. Hopefully he’s got what it takes nerves of steel and a spine made out of titanium! 🤞

“Reverse Freedom Rides conceived by segregationists”

Oh- you mean like this guy??

Joe Biden didn’t just compromise with segregationists. He fought for their cause in schools, experts say.

Donchya love how the woketards accuse Govs deSantis and Abbott of exploiting people for political gain. While they ignore how opportunistic ghouls like Beto O Rourke exploiting the children killed in the Uvalde shooting incident for political gain.

The black CITIZENS who were transported in he 1960s belonged in the USA!!!!

The ILLEGALS who were transported to Martha’s Vineyard in 2022 DO NOT belong in the USA!!!!

They were IMPOSED in us by the illegitimate biden administration, in order to increase the numbers of Dim voters. They take our jobs, they take our housing, they demand welfare, and they are intended to STEAL our elections!!!!

That is the difference!!!!

In 1962 the only terrorizing of blacks was by the Democrat Party and their enforcement arm, the KKK. See George Wallace

The White Citizens’ Council in 1962 was 100% democrat. In that year MLK was a Republican - so was Rosa Parks.

The only KKK ‘officer’ to serve in the Senate was Robert Bryd - Obama spoke at his funeral. Byrd - like other democrat racists - stayed Democrat his whole life.
