Famed host of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God, voiced his approval of Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sending busloads of migrants to blue state sanctuary cities and called the move 'genius.'

Rye went on to call Abbott and DeSantis 'bible-beating Christian governors,' and went on to wonder 'what kind of Christianity they're practicing.'
Author and intellectual Malcolm Gladwell then joined in the discussion and agreed with Rye, and asked 'How are we in a situation in our country when we're treating people who want to come here... as props in
