Fox News commentators Tucker Carlson and Jesse Watters hit back against woke documentary filmmaker Ken Burns for his tone deaf comparison between sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard and the Holocaust.
Burns, who was making the talk show rounds to tout his three-part series exploring the U.S. action and inaction during the Nazi atrocities during World War II, couldn't help but see the correlation between the genocide and a political maneuver by Governor Ron DeSantis.
The Florida Republican made headlines on Thursday morning after sending a plane of migrants to the tony vacation spot off Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a regular vacation spot of the Kennedys.

For someone that makes historical documentaries , and he says this , it shows how much he hates. Something that the left says they don't do.

These illegals should be cautious if the leftist elites on the Vineyard offer them showers for delousing. Would start like Auschwitz, with those able to provide lawn mowing and bus boy services separated from the weak. The weak would be sent off to the Vineyard Ferry for resettlement in Providence, RI.
What’s odd is that the Vineyard has a “homeless advocate” telling press that there aren’t any places to live on the island. But starting this week, the enormous and enormously expensive homes across the island will be shuttering for the winter. Can’t these houses hold the illegals until next Memorial Day? Would give Democrats who control MV time to build affordable housing for what will be hopefully hundreds of plane loads of these invaders.

That "homeless advocate", #2, has a drawer full of one-way ferry tickets to the mainland for any poor souls who show up on the island. Now, yesterday I looked at VRBO for minimum 60 day rentals that would accommodate 10 or more guests. Twenty-eight came up available. There were 79 more listed that would accommodate at least two guests.

Now there isn't the slightest doubt that Burns is a raving leftist propagandist, is there?
This is delicious. More please.
These "open minded" and "welcoming of diversity" folks are just freaking out when a few illegals are delivered to THEIR communities.
More. More. More.

The most delicious outcome of all the leftist caterwauling is that at long last the major media are highlighting the illegals in MV. They have ignored the overrun border towns but illegals in Martha’s Vineyard?! OMG! The horror!

It's always, bottom line, about real estate values.
The perception of value. Is Martha's Vineyard so great? Just so-so.

Burns: "If you can use a human life...'And put it in the position of becoming a political pawn in someone's authoritarian game -this is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. What's so disturbing about DeSantis is to use human beings - to weaponize human beings for a political purpose."
Burns is too stupid or too tone deaf or won't admit that this IS EXACTLY what Democrats have been doing for years - first with blacks, now with illegal immigrants.
Will the self-appointed liberal "elites" EVER recognize their own hypocrisy?
Ans: Probably not.

Ken:
Were the illegal aliens on the planes crowded into cargo so that there was no room to do anything but stand? Were they denied water and access to latrines so that they had defecate where they stood? Did they turn off the ventilation system so there was no fresh air or climate control?
When the arrived at Martha's Vineyard, were they met by armed soldiers with attack dogs? Were they tattooed with a serial number? (Would that be either their immigration case number?) Were the old, young and unhealthy separated from the rest, never to be seen again? Were the rest stripped down, hosed off and given striped jackets and trousers to wear? Were they given nothing but water-down potato soup to eat? Were they housed in effectively what are tar-paper shacks . . . .
Oh. THAT's why Martha's Vineyard's "homeless advocate" complained they have no housing for these people. They don't have any concentration camp-worthy structures for them.

Kind of wish we had another Holocaust. But this time it'd be Politicians and the main stream media herded onto cattle cars and shipped off never to be seen or heard from again.

Burns does have a point. Obama is known to be anti semitic so he might barbeque the illegal aliens

Dems are outraged (I know, when are they not outraged?) because they are the ones who control the media and therefore the narrative. This is an extremely effective narrative against the hypocrisy of the left, and they were caught off guard. So now, they are scrambling to somehow get the upper hand, using words like “inhumane,” and of course, the inevitable Hitler comparisons. The psychopathology of the left would fascinating if it weren’t so destructive. But dang, sometimes it is fun to watch.

You'd be hard pressed to find a sign saying 'Work Makes Us Free" in English there, let alone in German.

You will never go broke underestimating the inane hyperbole and insane misreading of history by betting on the Left's stupidity.

Sorry, Ken, but the impetus for this was the government's wholesale transport by planes of illegal immigrants all over the US.

This stunt might not have given the desired result, but isn't it fun to hear them squeal.
