Ron DeSantis has made a career out of making fools in the media.
DeSantis isn’t taking his foot off the gas pedal.
And Ron DeSantis just left CNN fuming with this brilliant surprise.
CNN’s Erica Hill was left speechless on Friday after speaking with Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence analyst John Miller regarding the recent attacks on NYPD police officers by an alleged group of illegal immigrants, most of whom had been released without bail.
Three New York police officers were attempting to break up a disorderly group of men outside a shelter for immigrant arrivals in Times Square.
Hill played a clip from Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul who said authorities should “get them all and send them back.”
“To hear her talk about that, it is also directly related to the fact that these were police officers. Does that have any impact? Does that change anything?” Hill asked.
“Well, it’s so complicated because, you know, you’re a New Yorker. You move through the city every day as I do. We see these people. We touch these people. They’re out looking for work. They’re delivering our food. They’re at the gas stations and the car wash. These are people who came in waves, you know, 170,000 probably to New York City. But within that group, this hard-working, you know, throngs of people in search of hope and a better life, there is this one percent you know, criminal element that looks at a different opportunity here,” Miller said.
“These individuals, I went over their rap sheets yesterday. Multiple charges. Grand larceny, robbery, attempted robbery, grand larceny, grand larceny. This particular crew operated on mopeds and scooters. They were doing organized retail theft. They were doing snatches on the street, iPhones, iPads, clothing, so on and so forth. One of them that they are still seeking has 10 charges in one day because he’s part of a pattern that’s been going on. And I’m looking at the dates that their arrests started, which is probably close to when they got here. They’ve only been here a couple of months.”
“So what the detectives are telling me is, they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing, then go to Florida to spend the money and then come back. I’m like, ‘Why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida?’ They said, ‘Because there you go to jail,’” Miller said.
All Hill could reply was “Oh,” and everyone sat in silence for an awkward amount of time until co-host Phil Mattingly finally said, “Fascinating.”
The four accused cop-attackers were let loose without bail and are believed to have fled to California.
