Chris Van Hollen's Latest El Salvador Photo Inadvertently Captured the Dismal State of the Dems
Townhall ^ | April 18, 2025 | Matt Vespa

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) sought a photo opportunity and media attention. He got both though it’s turned into a nightmare for Democrats. Still, they don’t know it yet. The Democratic Party is obsessed with Abrego Garcia, who is the latest to be subjected to Rosa Parks syndrome: the Left’s incessant need to find a symbol for the struggle against Trump’s America. They opted to pick a wife-beating MS-13 gang member who was deported to El Salvador.

...

Find someone who looks at you the way Senator Chris Van Hollen looks at an illegal immigrant who violently assaults his wife and has confirmed ties to MS-13 and human trafficking.

...

Van Hollen was initially denied an opportunity to see or speak with Garcia. He got that chance yesterday in one of the cringiest photo ops in recent memory. Yet, it was prefaced with him standing alone in an empty ballroom in El Salvador. We all mocked Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) odd solo videos of him spewing nonsense about how the democrats are beating Trump. Sir, you’re alone in these poorly made videos.

...

thought Jeffries’ videos were the worst—Van Hollen upped the ante. It inadvertently captured the state of the Democratic Party, which is in its worst shape in 50 years. He’s alone, isolated, and has no one to support this obsession with busting out a gang member. Moreover, he did this after the Justice Department released the documents proving Garcia’s gang ties.

There’s a reason why Democrats have a 21 percent approval rating and have become experts in landing on the wrong side of every major public policy issue over the past decade. They’re the 80/20 party—the ones who will always take the wrong side. A side that has no constituency because we’re not insane.

Why isn’t this a Logan act Offense? Maybe there are separate laws for Democrats and Republicans.

Van Hollen got completely played. He’s not the sharpest pencil in the box.

None of this is really about Abrego Garcia, it’s about sticking something, anything in Trumps face to get traction with the masses. Abrego Garcia is a tool a distraction and once his value is used up, he’ll be disposed of and forgotten.

Yes, much differen5 laws for democrats- actually, there are no laws for democrats, only republicans- says so right in the constitution

Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.

Each House may determine the Rules......

Just kidding

Democrats, the party that “protects women” are fighting their brains out trying to rein trounce a wife beater to the us. They also love Islam which is notorious for treating women like crap. No wonder they are trying so hard to get this wife beater back to the states.

It appears that the RATS’s next big move is going to make the MS-13 Merryland Father of the Year a Merry Billionaire by having the boy sue the American people. Hey America! Have you had enough of the Satanic DemonRATS and their worthless bottom feeding junior “judges” yet?

Her father, a notorious lib himself, was at least somewhat smart enough to try to warn her to stay out of politics in public- she wasn’t smart enough to listen. She is one of the most hated people in the world now because she sidled up to the enemy and emboldened them to keep killing American soldiers brutaly.

Classic Communist “activist” tactic.

Pick a “cause” and get hysterical about it.

A month later it is on to the next “cause”.

Three months later nobody can remember the “cause” of three months ago.
