Joe Biden and the Democrats seem determined to try and destroy Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Biden will go to any lengths.
Joe Biden sent a letter to Ron DeSantis that will leave you red with rage.
Democrats were furious when Governor Ron DeSantis flew 50 illegal aliens to the liberal summer vacation retreat of Martha’s Vineyard.
Oprah, Barack and Michelle Obama, and crème de la crème of liberal elites own homes on Martha’s Vineyard and Governor DeSantis sought to call attention to the fact that Joe Biden opened the border to a mass invasion of illegal aliens while expecting communities in largely red states to deal with the fallout.
Immigration is one issue where Republicans hold a massive lead over Democrats so DeSantis centering the public’s attention on the border crisis derailed Democrat attempts to turn the election into a referendum on abortion or Donald Trump.
Democrats demanded payback.
And in the modern Democrat Party an authoritarian impulse to jail or punish any opponent is the new political North Star.
DeSantis paid for the flights to Martha’s Vineyard from a program funded by interest earned on the state’s share of COVID relief money.
Since the administration is powerless to stop DeSantis from chartering any more flights of illegal aliens to Democrat-run sanctuary cities this provided the hook for the Biden administration to investigate DeSantis.
That’s why the Treasury Department’s Inspector General, Richard K. Delmar, fired off a letter announcing the Biden administration intended to “review the allowability” of Covid relief to states “related to immigration generally, and will specifically confirm whether interest earned on (the) funds was utilized by Florida related to immigration activities, and if so, what conditions and limitations apply to such use.”
“We plan to get this work underway as quickly as possible, consistent with meeting our other oversight mandates and priorities, both in pandemic recovery programs as well as the other Treasury programs and operations for which we have responsibility,” Delmar’s letter added. “We are also monitoring legislative and judicial challenges to the use of the funds for this purpose; such developments may affect the scope and timing of our review.”
A DeSantis spokeswoman dismissed this political stunt and pointed out that the DeSantis administration already reached out to the Treasury Department about using interest on COVID money to pay for these flights.
“Taryn Fenske, a spokesperson for DeSantis, said representatives of the governor’s budget office had spoken ‘weeks ago’ to the inspector general’s office about using interest earnings to pay for the transport program and that the state contends its use of the money is permissible under the rules adopted for the money sent to states,” POLITICO reported.
Joe Biden already picked a series of losing fights in COVID vaccine passports and mask mandates with Ron DeSantis.
Ron DeSantis rocketed to superstardom because the public preferred DeSantis rejecting tyrannical mandates and restrictions because DeSantis actually followed the science and the data compared to Joe Biden who allowed hysteria, superstition and ideology to guide his heavy-handed COVID approach.
Now Joe Biden is determined to run headfirst into another losing fight with Ron DeSantis over immigration.
