Ron DeSantis And Greg Abbott In Major Fight Over Immigrant Flights - Ring of Fire
According to a new report from The New York Times, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott are in a behind-the-scenes feud over the flights that DeSantis paid for to ship asylum-seekers from Texas to Martha's Vineyard. Apparently Abbott had been gathering up these immigrants to ship them out of the state on his own, but DeSantis struck first when DeSantis felt that Abbott was trying to "steal" his idea. Trump is also claiming that DeSantis stole HIS idea, and this whole thing couldn't be any more juvenile, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.
