So... the democrat party in America, now, is the party whose members will fly to foreign countries to make sure dangerous gang members are brought back to America.
This is what ‘motivates’ and ‘animates’ today’s democrat party leaders. And then they wonder why their party has a 21 percent approval rating-
And dropping.
And yes, Kilmer Abrego Garcia is a dangerous Latin gang leader. The left-wing media are spreading all sorts of falsehoods and ignoring all sorts of facts related to this guy to portray him as a peaceful Maryland man.
Their narrative hinges on him being a ‘good guy’ who put ‘gang life’ behind himself...long ago.
Folks: he was arrested along with two other ms-13 gang members...and he had a wad of cash in his pocket at the time. Garcia might look a little older, but he is still active ms-13. Both our investigators and El Salvador’s gang investigators agree on that fact.
Moreover-did you see that the narrative related to Abrego Garcia being a ‘good husband’ fell apart, yesterday?
It turns out that his wife has sought at least three court orders trying to keep him away from her after accusations of domestic violence.
And so...this whole ‘loving husband and father’s myth is melting away like toilet paper in the rain.
And -how great was it yesterday that- as the country learns that Garcia is a domestic abuser and verified active gang member- Maryland senator Chris van Hollen is making his way down to El Salvador, and posting videos every few minutes acting like he’s one some ‘mission of mercy’?
Did you see any of these videos? He’s acting like he’s ‘Jimmy Carter’ flying over to Africa to get Nelson Mandela freed from prison.
This guy is a hardened member of one of the most vile and violent gangs on the planet.And he’s been here-illegally-for well over a decade.
And by the way-this is another lie the left is telling that all sorts of ‘well meaning’ liberals on their own side of the aisle are believing: that Abrego Garcia was here ‘legally’.
No, he wasn’t.Our immigration courts and government never gave him legal status. They all agreed he was here illegally. The only ‘order’ they put on him related to ‘status’ was that- if he was to be deported...he couldn’t be deported back to El Salvador...because he was worried about rival gangs killing him.
I still don’t think most people are clear on the fact that that was the ‘oops’... That trump’s team made- as part of this deportation.
The media never explains it, and no one gets it: this wasn’t an ‘innocent’ or ‘legal’ Maryland resident, and father deported off to a harsh prison in El Salvador for no reason. That’s not the controversy here, even if the leftists and dems are gaslighting the public and want it to be.
No-
The issue here is Garcia was deported back to his home country of El Salvador even though an earlier judge had determined that he needed to be deported elsewhere. Not to his home country.
That’s’ the ‘oops’ that Trump’s team made here, folks.
The pro-illegal crowd is also making process arguments—but they don’t really apply here- either. Not when we are talking about an ‘enemy combatant’ or ‘member of a terrorist organization’ as MS-13 has been deemed to be.
I asked yesterday: what does senator Van Hollen think he’s going to do? Play checkers with Garcia through the prison bars?
Because he’s not going to be able to ‘secure any release’ or bring him back home.
Listen to Pam Bondi yesterday, who said, look-Abrego Garcia will-not- be stepping back on American soil...and if Trump’s team ever feels they need to-in order to clear some question up here- it’ll be a quick trip.
That’s the attorney general of the United States saying ‘what I said’ on yesterday’s show: I can’t imagine what the democrats think they are winning here- with this political stunt.
And that’s all it is: a political stunt.
Politico and other news outlets reported yesterday that democrats are trying to organize an entire house delegation ...to take a trip down to El Salvador.
Okay. To do what? Cry fake tears outside of the prison.
Is AOC going to dust off her white suit and fly all the way down there to cry in front of a century fence?
There’s no point in this.
Tom Homan-Trump’s border czar- said the same thing, yesterday: there’s no ‘win’ here for democrats, or for the country, related to their stunt:
Folks...senator Chris van Hollen represents Maryland. Garcia was living in Maryland. That is, allegedly, his heightened interest in this, correct?
Oh! As a senator who represents -all- Marylanders- he’s going to inject himself into this injustice...etc... etc.
But-
Funny thing, though: when a Maryland woman was murdered by an illegal gang member...senator van Hollen didn’t do diddly to either find her killer...or console her family.
This is the Rachel morin murder.
Just this Monday- a jury convicted an illegal immigrant of her murder.
Rachel’s mother, patty, appeared on Fox News to talk about the case-and told Sean Hannity that neither she nor her family have had-any-contact with senator van Hollen. He didn’t reach out to check with the family after the murder. To help find the killer. As the trial was starting. To attend the funeral.
Any of it.
And so- this caring, motivated Maryland senator...didn’t give a moment’s thought or a tinker’s damn when an innocent American, Rachel Morin, was murdered by an illegal...
But...
Trump deports a violent ms-13 gang member who never should have been here...and oh! That! Motivates van Hollen. That’s got him energized. An injustice has been made. We got to get that violent, wife-abusing scumbag back into America.
How do democrats think this is all being perceived?
Do they really think that standing up for illegal criminals is what the American people want to see from them? As elected leaders.
Their reactions here are just bizarre.
I understand that they are scrambling and struggling to find new ways to keep smearing and fighting trump after a decade of failures... But they are finally ‘so lost’ that they’ve lost all sight of their goal...and have lost all their senses.
I mean-
It doesn’t even take much thought for republicans and Trump’s team members to counter this.
Aside from punching pregnant women in the stomach...I can’t think of a dumber or viler move for democrats to be making right now.
Seriously:
What’s next? Baby punching? Sacrificing kittens? Stepping on gerbils?
What could make democrats more reviled in America right now?
They are displaying a staggering lack of self-awareness right now... and they aren’t displaying even a whiff of political acumen.
