It’s not so much the story….but this from an hour ago. Epic.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wouldn’t confirm Tuesday that he’s planning to send a chartered flight of undocumented immigrants to President Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware, like last week’s dropoff at Martha’s Vineyard, but he did defend spending state budget money for transporting migrants.
“I cannot confirm that, I can’t,” the Republican said in Melbourne, Florida, when he took questions from the media about the latest rumors, reports FloridaPolitics.com.
The Delaware News Journal reported Tuesday that state officials are preparing for the possibility of a plane full of migrants coming to the Delaware Coastal Airport from Texas.
Biden on Tuesday, when asked about the reports that DeSantis was sending migrants from Texas to his state, said the GOP governor should make a trip there himself sometime, reports The Hill.
“He should come visit,” Biden told reporters. “We have a beautiful shoreline.”
The Tampa Bay Times, reporting on the possibility of a flight, said that as of noon eastern time, the charter flight appeared to be delayed and was still on the ground at a regional airport near Longview, Texas, and had not reached San Antonio yet.
The newspaper reported that the charter’s destination appears to be a Delaware airport near Biden’s vacation home. According to data posted on the FlightAware website, the plane, which can hold about 30 people, was chartered by Ultimate JetCharters, the same company that arranged the two flights to Martha’s Vineyard last week on behalf of the state of Florida.
