‘F***ing Depraved’: Democrats Melt Down after DeSantis Flies Illegal Immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard

Democratic lawmakers blasted Ron DeSantis for sending planes full of illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday, accusing the governor of using vulnerable human beings as props in an act of political theater.

The Florida governor claimed responsibility for sending two planes of illegal immigrants to the affluent summer colony, an apparent retaliation for the federal government flying immigrants to Florida.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre accused Republicans of “abandoning” the illegal immigrants in Democrat-run sanctuary cities.

“What they are doing is a legal stunt, is a political stunt. It’s really just disrespectful to humanity,” she said.

A Massachusetts state Representative whose district includes part of Martha’s Vineyard wrote that DeSantis’s actions were “f***ing depraved.”

“The Governor of one of the biggest states in the nation has been spending time hatching a secret plot to round up & ship people-children, families-lying to them about where theyre going just to gain cheap political points on Tucker Calrson [sic] and MAGA twitter. It’s f***ing depraved,” Dylan Fernandes wrote on social media.

Fernandes added that Martha’s Vineyard “jumped into action” to find 50 beds, food, and health care for the illegal immigrants.

Representative Bill Keating, who represents the island, said, “history does not look kindly on leaders who treat human beings like cargo, loading them up and sending them a thousand miles away without telling them their destination.”

Massachusetts senator Ed Markey said DeSantis was using the illegal immigrants as a “cruel stunt.”

DeSantis “could learn a lesson from Massachusetts on what patriotism and liberty really look like if he weren’t so busy using humans as props in a cruel stunt to buoy his pathetic political aspirations. To those who’ve just landed: we gladly embrace you,” Markey wrote.

State Senator Julian Cyr, who also represents Martha’s Vineyard, said the situation was “developing” and that residents were “working hard to provide food + shelter.” He added that the situation is “pretty disgusting.”

“It’s pretty disgusting to see that politicians are capitalizing on the difficult circumstances these families are in for a ‘gotcha’ moment and political stunt,” Cyr said in a statement to Politico.

Republican Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker did not criticize DeSantis, telling Fox News they are “in touch with local officials” and “support” their efforts to provide shelter services.
