Two of the Most Liberal TV Talking Heads Make Stunning Admission About the GOP 
Round of applause for Govs. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Greg Abbott (R-TX)! 
Two  of Hollywood’s biggest liberals just admitted that Republicans  bussing  illegal immigrants to Democrat-led states was the “smartest”  thing they  could have done. 
   
Former daytime talk show host Katie Couric  and American political  strategist for the Democratic Party Jessica  Tarlov praised the GOP’s  move of shipping illegal aliens to the Democrat  governor’s doorstep  when the effects of the Biden-Harris  Administration’s immigration  crisis were at its worst. 
“I  thought it was a stunt when they started bussing migrants to  Martha's  vineyard ... it was the smartest thing they ever did,” Tarlov  said. 
Couric  recalled a friend telling her that she had a friend living in  Florida  who loved what DeSantis did. She admitted that the mainstream  media  ignored the crisis at its “peril.” 
The move sparked nationwide outrage after Republicans argued that   Democratic leaders should experience the consequences of their   immigration policies. As a result, they sent them to “sanctuary cities”   such as  New York and  Washington, D.C., to show how their left-wing  policies place a strain on  resources and law enforcement. They argued  that supporters of illegal  immigration should be responsible for  dealing with the consequences that  come with rolling out the red carpet  for them. 
In 2022, DeSantis organized several flights and buses that  shipped  illegal immigrants to blue states, including the swanky city of   Martha’s Vineyard, with each load estimating around 50 to 100   undocumented immigrants. 
Abbott,  on the other hand, began a controversial program in 2021 to bus  illegal  immigrants from Texas to Democratic-led cities and states. The  number  of aliens transported varied, but reports suggest that  thousands had  been sent to these destinations as part of the governor’s  border  security initiative.
