Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gave Republican governors his blessing when it comes to sending unwitting migrants around the country in order to throw Democrats into disarray ahead of the midterm elections.

"I personally thought it was a good idea," the Kentucky Republican told reporters at the US Capitol on Tuesday when asked about the immigration-related stunts Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have made their top priorities.
McConnell's sign-off comes as DeSantis allegedly added President Joe Biden's home state of Delaware to the mix of Democratic strongholds conservatives are happy to disrupt just weeks before election day.
The crisis-stoking crusade has, so far, included flying 48 Venezuelan asylum seekers from San Antonio, Texas to Massachusetts on Florida taxpayers' dime as well as bussing migrants from Texas to Washington, DC, New York City, and Chicago.

Send them to Moscow Mitch's home. He's worth millions.

Get it all over the news, itll sway some people and fires up the base. It also takes abortion out of the headlines.
It might have been a good idea, it might not have. Well see how it polls.
