Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who flew two planes full of immigrants from Texas and dropped them off in Martha’s Vineyard, has opened himself up to potential legal ramifications, with some experts suggesting he be charged with kidnapping.
But it has also opened him up to absolutely savage Twitter commentary.
While there have been some conservatives who have rushed to DeSantis’ (and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott) defense, most have come to openly roast the right-wing politicians.
George Takei suggested giving DeSantis some of his own medicine, while Keith Olbermann took the more outraged stance.

Maybe we should put Ron DeSantis on a chartered plane to a far off island. Taking ideas.

A reminder that what @GovRonDeSantis did wasn't a "stunt."
It was kidnapping, and Human Trafficking.
These are federal crimes. The sentence is five years – per victim.

As a Cuban American, I find it especially repulsive to see so many in my community celebrating Desantis relocating immigrants, Venezuelans, out of state. These are people fleeing the very same dangers that my family did and were welcomed with open arms. The hypocrisy is real.

What @GovRonDeSantis and @GregAbbott_TX are doing isn’t clever, it’s cruel.

“I do not know why treating brown people like unwanted garbage so titillates the Republican MAGA base,” writes @ElieNYC of DeSantis and Abbott’s ploys to score points by shipping migrants to blue states. The practice should be illegal. https://t.co/W1ysSKGV2r

DeSantis sent a videographer because he was trying to make an audition tape for the presidency.
Well, we've gotten a pretty good look.
Let's make sure this never happens.https://t.co/DLvbRbjQ85
