Chris Van Hollen Shows Us One Person Can Make a Difference
The Nation ^ | 4/21/25 | Joan Walsh

The Maryland senator put a wedge between Trump and Salvadoran dictator Bukele and showed Democrats how to find their spines.

On Sunday, Senator Chris Van Hollen conquered all five morning talk shows. He was by far the most coveted guest after his return from El Salvador, where he stood down the country’s despot and secured a meeting with the illegally deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Van Hollen delivered love from Abrego Garcia’s family and his growing legion of advocates and proved that the 29-year-old father is alive and safe—at least for now.

I love how they keep referring to this illegal as a “dad” or “father”
They pulled a similar stunt when our Iranian embassy was taken over, referring to the terrorist Islamic thugs as students. Yet another example of the libs perverse affinity toward criminals.

The democrats don’t vet one person coming into our country, but vet the illegals we’re deporting?

The Democrats (and the left in general) are the brainstem party. They reflexively respond without higher cortical input/considerations.

Ironically, this is the methodology currently taught in ‘higher’ education and what passes as ‘intellectualism’.

Van Hollen delivered love from Abrego Garcia’s family

Did Abrego Garcia send a bitch slap to his wife in return?

Speaking of bitch slapping. Did I see a photo of Van Hollen hugging Garcia's "wife" after he returned?

If he did, that would've been a slap in the face of Rachel Morin's mom.

Yea - he made a difference.

A big difference

Especially when Trump released the photo of Abrego Garcia’s knuckles showing his MS-13 tats as he and Van Hollen sat there like old buds sipping margaritas together.

“conquered all five morning talk shows.”
I’m assuming that phrase also includes ABC’s “This week.” ABC didn’t get the memo. Why would ABC include a clip of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who will run for the Presidency in 2028 (if not earlier), saying the Republicans are using this issue of Garcia in El Salvador as a distraction and that Republicans thinks this is an 80/20 issue (where 80% prefer Republican’s side of this issue, 20% prefer Democrat’s side of this issue)?

the one question that the judges do not answer is what is the legal status difference between an illegal criminals rights if they spend 10 years hiding in the US, stealing, being true to their gang, making under the table nontaxed money and a gang member that flies in at an airport or border crossing and sees 1 or 2 border security officers with his gang affiliation tats and no papers and gets told they may not proceed and returned to their country. no money spent or court dates given, just rejected for cause. the courts allow this every day at the border.
