DeSantis slaps down Democratic Texas sheriff for opening CRIMINAL case into Martha's Vineyard migrant flights - and points out hypocrisy that there was less outrage when dozens died inside tractor-trailer in his jurisdiction

Ron DeSantis has furiously slapped down a Texas sheriff who launched a criminal investigation into his flying 50 Venezuelan migrants to Martha's Vineyard.

The Florida governor pointed out the hypocrisy of Democratic Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar for probing him when it was in his jurisdiction where 50 migrants died in a trailer-tractor over the summer.

He challenged fellow politicians and voters to find similar levels of outrage at that shocking incident - as well as huge numbers of migrants drowning in the Rio Grande - as what he has been facing for his stunt.

On the whole I would rather fly to Martha's Vineyard on a jet than smother to death in the back of a semi truck. This sheriff should quit the political grandstanding and do his job. He has blood on his hands.

Another question to the sheriff: “Are you taking money from human traffickers/cartels?”

This sheriff sounds more incompetent than the Uvalde School Chief Pete Arredondo.

I didn’t realize that incident occurred in that county. The Sheriff opens this inquiry just to showboat while he’s got these illegals pouring into his jurisdiction, and some like those people being essentially murdered. How I loathe these people

These governors gotta keep it up. What they are doing is advancing the ball further down the field than anything the Republicans have done on the issue in my lifetime.

The invaders were asked if they wanted to fly and voluntarily boarded the aircraft.

Charities transport invaders all the time.

The sheriff should run an investigation into the NGOs that abet the migrants on their journey toward becoming illegal aliens in the U.S. and then on their journey towards displacing American citizens.

The RATS are panicking on this one. They want to diffuse the open border issue as quick as possible.

Like a washed up celebrity he’s trying to get attention for something he has no authority whatsoever.

I wonder if our Texas Sheriff would open an investigation into governor Whitmers “kidnapping” allegations?

I’m thinking Martha’s Vineyard is a paradise it will probably encourage more immigrants to select MV as their destination.

The hold harmless form they sign should have a few boxes they can check for their sanctuary destination, one for MV, one for Nantucket, one for D.C. one for Chicago etc.

Someone paid off this clown sheriff Salazar. His track record is deplorable.

Of course they were lured.....

Because when 100s - if not 1000s - of “migrants” fleeing a poverty-stricken 3rd world hellhole (coming to a country near you!) were asked:

Who wants to be relocated to Martha’s Vineyard?

no one raised their hand and they had to be tricked into it.....

“..I’m thinking Martha’s Vineyard is a paradise it will probably encourage more immigrants to select MV as their destination....”

It should be officially renamed: “Migrants’ Vineyard” and ship em there by the thousands. You know, just to “culturally enrich” the elite there. After all, the biggest “illegal” to ever hit the place has a mansion there.

Should be interesting to see what happens when a bunch of corrupt khaki pant feebs (i.e. patriot front LARPS) show up to try to arrest him. What will his protective service do? What will the State Police do? The Leon County sheriff is a demoncrap unfortunately.

What will Florida Man do?

How does a Texas sherif have jurisdiction to investigate a Florida Governor for flying aliens to Massachusetts? Acts the never took place in Texas?

It’s just yarn to be spun for the narrative.....

Don’t look here - look there.

The paid bots in the comment sections for many news sites are already claiming DeSantis will be jailed because of the kidnapping investigation out of Texas.

Like clockwork..... every time.
