Califlorida Feuding.
“The feud between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis is getting nastier — and that’s how both of them want it.
The two governors have spent more than a year sparring over book bans, abortion, guns and more. Then yesterday, the California Democrat suggested DeSantis could face state criminal charges after more than a dozen asylum seekers were flown to Sacramento and left at a Catholic church. The flight was similar to one the DeSantis administration facilitated last fall carrying almost 50 mostly Venezuelan migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard that caused a national furor and re-ignited the long-running debate over immigration.”
The Blue/Red state divide is coming into clearer focus as states in various parts of the nation head down very different paths when it comes to protecting their citizens’ rights. Governors like DeSantis are taking advantage of the wave of anti -rans sentiment that has been stoked by the Christian Right in the last year to whip up his home base in order to launch a 2024 Presidential bid. Other states of the Red ilk are following suit and restricting trans healthcare and access to abortion within their borders while Blue states expand access to these services. American divisions are becoming extraordinarily pronounced with little common cause binding the nation together.
