Charlie Crist deflects blame on immigration crisis as polls show DeSantis with majority of Latino support

Perino then questioned Crist on his dwindling support from Latino voters in the state amid record numbers of illegal migrant crossings. A recent Florida governor poll shows DeSantis holding 51% of the Latino vote over Crist’s 44%.

“I think that’s going to change in the next two weeks,” Crist responded, arguing voters will abandon DeSantis because of his recent decision to fly migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in an attempt to take the border crisis directly to Democrats.

Crist characterized the move as a “cruel, inhumane and unusual” stunt.
