he s my guest. let s go out front. good evening, i m erin burnett. ron desantis is vowing that his two flights of undocumented immigrants to martha s vineyard are just the beginning. these are just the beginning efforts. we ve got an infrastructure in place now. there s going to be a lot more than happening. we are going to use it, and you re going to see more and more. now, ironically that $12 million that he refers to is coming from interest earned on coronavirus aid funds, aid funds that came from president biden. well, you see how desantis is using it in his threat tonight. republicans and democrats are at an all-out war of words. they use them as political pawns, treated them like chattel in a cruel premeditated political stunt. if they will not go to the border, we re taking the border to them so they can see the challenges they are posing to the entire united states. what desantis is doing a disgrace. these communities are so hypocritical because they are n
