Democrats are treating Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a threat on the scale of Donald Trump.
Liberals are reaching into the Trump playbook to go after DeSantis.
And a key Democrat put Ron DeSantis under criminal investigation for this sick reason.
DeSantis put liberals on the defensive over the border crisis by flying 50 illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard.
The illegal aliens were transported from Texas – where the Biden administration planned to take them to Florida – to Martha’s Vineyard.
The Democrat Sheriff of Brexar County, Julio Salazar, announced he intended to open a criminal investigation into DeSantis flying the illegal aliens from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard.
Salazar announced this investigation even though he admitted no crimes were committed.
“I believe people need to be held accountable for it to the extent possible,” Salazar stated. “At this point, I’m not able to definitively say here’s the statute that they broke either federal, state or local. But what I can tell you is it’s wrong just from a human rights perspective, what was done to these folks is wrong.”
Salazar repeated some of the false claims made by open borders advocates that DeSantis tricked the illegal aliens into getting on the planes to Martha’s Vineyard with false claims about their true destination and the promises of jobs as well as government benefits.
“From now on out, we’re hoping to talk to some of these victims and witnesses firsthand to find out what was said, what was done, how were you lured into this, and then the full extent of how they were placed in harm’s way,” Salazar added. “At that point, we will make the determination if there was any criminal activity. Certainly, I can tell you right now, the allegations that we’ve heard, is absolutely distasteful. It’s disgusting.”
DeSantis slammed Salazar for initiating a baseless criminal investigation after ignoring the border crisis in his county as evidence by Salazar’s lack of action after law enforcement discovered 53 dead illegal aliens in the back of a trailer.

The DeSantis administration told reporters that the illegal aliens were given multiple opportunities to turn down flying to Martha’s Vineyard and they all signed forms consenting to the trip.
Officials provided showers and food to the illegal aliens as well as maps clearly marking they were going to Martha’s Vineyard.
But facts and the law aren’t really at issue here.
Democrats are treating Ron DeSantis like Donald Trump.
And that means putting DeSantis – like Trump – under criminal investigation in an attempt to strike back at them for challenging the left.
