When far-right Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis arranged for two planes of migrants to be flown to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, he made sure that Fox News was the first media outlet to know what he was up to. DeSantis wanted to make sure that his political stunt and effort to anger northern liberals would receive as much publicity as possible in right-wing media, and he has been drawing a great deal of criticism from Democrats as well as from Never Trump conservatives.
Another group that has been "annoyed" by DeSantis' stunt, according to New York Times reporters Michael C. Bender and J. David Goodman, are Republicans in Texas' state government — including allies of Gov. Greg Abbott.
