What is a Christian perspective on what he did earlier this week?

I don’t know what a Christian perspective would be anymore than I would a Moslem or Hindu perspective.

But my personal perspective is (among other thoughts) that I thought it was mixture of amusing political grandstanding, raw hypocrisy, people pawning and a good point.

Ron DeSantis is little more than a snake oil salesman in an expensive suit who wraps himself in a cloak of Christian sanctity in order to further his political ambitions. This little move of flying people to other states was just a publicity stunt from a sicko who enjoys using the less fortunate to his advantage.

I have no wish to be abrasive, but few things get under my skin more than rich politicians who use poor people and scripture for political gain.

Do you think Biden should draw criticism for flying people all over the country at night
without fanfare and just dropping them off everywhere without notice?

What someone did last week or some other period of time isn't specific, if you
are not clear whatever he was thinking about may not be what I think about
when I think about him and last week, so yes, be specific.

So you are just going to pretend that you don’t know what is being discussed here?

I see the words here, what someone did last week from someone else's point of view
that isn't something I'd call common knowledge.
