Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is speaking out about Gov. Ron DeSantis sending two planes of undocumented immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts on Wednesday.
Lake, appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight on the Fox News Channel, said she disagreed with the Florida Governor’s stunt.
“I’m not a fan of it, Tucker,” Lake said. “I mean, we’re just taking people here illegally who shouldn’t be here, moving them further inland.”
It wasn’t all criticism from Lake, however.
“I actually get a kick out of it,” Lake told Carlson. “Watching these liberal Mayors just throw their hands up and say ‘We can’t handle it.’ Because it’s life every day for us in these border states.”
Lake’s criticism comes just weeks after DeSantis went to Arizona to campaign with her after she won the Primary with Donald Trump’s endorsement.
Lake, a former newscaster, extolled DeSantis as a chip off the Trump block while saying being called “DeSantis of the West” was a major compliment.
“He’s got BDE. I call it Big DeSantis Energy. He’s got the same kind of BDE President Trump has,” Lake said, introducing DeSantis as a Governor who brought “Trump strength” to Florida.
By the end of the evening, DeSantis was promising to send National Guard members to stand sentry at the Mexican border in cooperation with Lake if she were elected Governor.
Lake said on Fox News Wednesday that if elected, she would send National Guard troops to the border but did not reference DeSantis’ offer.
Fox News Digital obtained the photo of the arrivals to Martha’s Vineyard, with DeSantis’ Communications Director confirming its veracity and saying it was a move of them to “sanctuary” jurisdictions.
“As you may know, in this past Legislative Session, the Florida Legislature appropriated $12 million to implement a program to facilitate the transport of illegal immigrants from this state consistent with federal law,” Taryn Fenske told Fox News.
DeSantis floated the idea of moving undocumented immigrants to other areas as early as last year.
“If you sent (them) to Delaware or Martha’s Vineyard, that border would be secured the next day,” he said in Jacksonville in December.

“The OxyContin has such a hold on my three sons Dustin, Cody, and Brody that none of them have been able to hold down a job in years, but thank baby jesus for DeSantis and his welfare money that keeps us in Cheezits and Mountain Dew.
Also, I hate lazy Mexicans.”
– Poor white trash Florida conservatives. This is you, weak little tommy, who has Ronny D’s ballsack stuffed into his mouth-hole right now, as always.

DeSantis’s base is trailer trash who are furious about being born with a low IQ and having no education. And these uneducated dumb dumbs, being who they are, fall for his con hook, line, and sinker. Ronnie being a fat disgusting POS in an ill-fitting suit belies the reality that he is one of the “elites” they are so jealous of.

Blame yourself for being a parent whose parent ran your own kids to drugs than to you. Always putting the blame elsewhere. Be accountable!

Why are you so angry? These liberals “wanted this”. That is why the want to abolish ice and told local law enforcement not to work with ice. Now please, use your obama phone to order your meds with your obamacare and just relax. 🙈🙉

Imagine being so anti-immigration, that you wish death on people strictly based on where they live, and call people fascist. What you did, was 1) show that you don’t know the definition of the word ‘fascist’, and 2) show that you are against illegal immigration, which is especially telling since I’m willing to be that you are someone who screams about wanting open borders.

She is entitled to her opinion.
Gov was kind to her, so as to come out and campaign for her and McMaster.
She has issues in trying to overcome to win.
It’s a message to potus #44.

Respectfully, perhaps Ms. Lake should focus on Arizona and let Governor DeSantis worry about Florida. GO RON GO.

Well this is a lie thru omission, she prefers they are not even allowed to leave but put in jail on the spot. Then thrown back across the border the story acts like she is against enforcement

Wait just a minute here. Our esteemed VP says the border is secure. Ha! Ha! I’m watching now as migrants are arriving to the VP’s house. Maybe she is making breakfast for them.

Translation: I’m losing my mind because this person is calling out our VP for what she said. I’m not mad that our VP said it, I’m mad at the person pointing it out. Seriously, you ‘people’ are an embarrassment.

The point they’re making is not unreasonable although desantis getting involved is just political theatre which is pretty much his stock and trade. How about he proposes some workable solutions to actually solve the problem? Imagine, if you can, we had leaders (and I use that term loosely) that worked to fix things instead of the back and forth culture BS. The stupid wall was a joke and clearly the current ideas aren’t working – where’s the problem solvers? Frankly, you just get sick of about hearing it.

So do we send all the unwanted babies to Florida than, as they are the pro life state. Have the Republicans adopt them

Why does’nt Desantis build a wall at Georgia and Alabama’s boarder to stop the undocumented migrants that Fla. needs, to do the work we won’t.

I got the feeling that payback and karma is going to be a you know what. Red states get tons of federal disaster aid. Some Red state congresspeople voted against the spending to help the Northeast after SuperStorm Sandy. That can go both ways.

I don’t understand why the Governor doesn’t send them to Mar-A_Lago where 45 will hire them? After all before taking office, his LV hotel, had NLRB charges from migrants employed at that facility!
