Fox News Analyst Points Finger At One Group For Turning Abrego Garcia Into The Democrats’ Latest Martyr

Go to Article

Although the Democratic Party has been lurching to the left for generations, its ideology seems to be turning more radical by the moment.

From allowing men to invade women’s spaces to pushing pornography on kids, modern Democrats appear willing to make any controversial argument imaginable as long as it opposes whatever conservatives are saying.

And according to Fox News’ Brit Hume, that pugilistic attitude has now led the party to rally around an illegal immigrant and alleged violent MS-13 gang member.

As the Daily Caller reported:

“I guess what we think these Democrats think is that they’re looking at a mandate from their most activist constituents to resist and fight and fight and fight,” Hume told Baier. “And so, they’re taking whatever opportunities to fight that they can. I’m not sure they’re choosing them very wisely.”

Hume said he’s puzzled why Van Hollen was rushing to advocate for a Salvadoran man.

“It’s a bit of a mystery to me, Bret, why Chris Van Hollen, who I think would like to run for president, is racing down to El Salvador to try to get a Salvadoran man, who was illegally in the United States, out of jail down there,” Hume said. “Now, the courts are dealing with the question of whether he should have been put there and whether he should be brought back for due process or whatever.”

He referred to the controversial trip Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) recently made to El Salvador on Abrego Garcia’s behalf:

Now, Van Hollen is busy complaining that his self-aggrandizing trip was used as a photo opportunity by the El Salvadoran government, per Fox News:

Returning from a highly publicized trip to El Salvador to meet with deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Van Hollen addressed reporters Thursday after landing at Dulles International Airport in Virginia. He attempted to set the record straight on what’s now being dubbed “margarita-gate,” a viral photo posted by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele that appeared to show the senator and Garcia sitting casually at a table with two salt-rimmed drinks.

“Let me just be very clear,” Van Hollen said. “Neither of us touched the drinks that were in front of us. And if you want to play a little Sherlock Holmes, I’ll tell you how you can know that. … If you sip out of one of those glasses, some of whatever it was — salt or sugar — would disappear. You would see a gap. There’s no gap.

“Nobody drank any margaritas or sugar water or whatever it is.”

Van Hollen claimed the glasses were placed after the meeting began as a staged photo-op, adding that earlier footage shows the table without drinks. Van Hollen accused both El Salvador President Nayib Bukele and the Trump administration of trying to distract from what he described as a constitutional crisis.

“This is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will do to deceive people,” Van Hollen said. “And it also shows the lengths that the Trump administration and the president will go to, because when he was asked by a reporter about this, he just went along for the ride.”

Here’s a clip of Hume’s recent remarks:
