News, ‘I’ll bring my hair gel’: Newsom challenges Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to debate : detailed suggestions and opinions about ‘I’ll bring my hair gel’: Newsom challenges Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to debate .
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday challenged his Florida counterpart, Ron DeSantis, to a televised debate, escalating his criticism of Republican governors’ mass transport of migrants to liberal bastions as “reprehensible” and possibly illegal.
“Hey [DeSantis], clearly you’re struggling, distracted, and busy playing politics with people’s lives,” Newsom tweeted Friday afternoon. “Since you have only one overriding need — attention — let’s take this up & debate. I’ll bring my hair gel. You bring your hairspray. Name the time before Election Day.”
On Wednesday evening, DeSantis sent a group of around 50 migrants by plane to Martha’s Vineyard, a Massachusetts playground for wealthy liberals. On Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott bused a group of nearly 100 migrants to Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington, D.C., ramping up a tactic that GOP governors have turned to in recent months to protest illegal immigration.
“Like millions of Americans, I have been horrified at the images of migrants being shipped on buses and planes across the country to be used as political props,” Newsom said in a letter Thursday to U.S. Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland, urging the Department of Justice to investigate DeSantis’ actions.
