Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed Senator Chris Van Hollen for cozying up to violent criminals instead of protecting Americans. During a fiery Senate hearing, Rubio exposed Van Hollen’s shameful trip to El Salvador to meet deported MS-13 suspect Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. Photos showed the Democrat senator sitting at a table with margaritas alongside an alleged human trafficker – a gang member our government rightfully kicked out.
Rubio didn’t hold back: “We deported gang members, including the one you had a margarita with.” He called out Van Hollen’s reckless defense of a dangerous criminal while American families suffer from gang violence. The secretary made clear that enforcing immigration laws isn’t optional – it’s how we keep neighborhoods safe from predators like MS-13.
Van Hollen whined about “due process” for the deported gangbanger, but Rubio shot back with facts. The Trump administration removed Garcia because he’s linked to murder and trafficking – not some paperwork error. While liberals cry over margarita-sipping thugs, conservatives know real justice means deporting those who prey on our communities.
El Salvador’s president publicly mocked Van Hollen’s phony “fact-finding” trip, sharing photos of the senator’s tropical meetup with Garcia. Patriots saw right through this stunt – a Democrat prioritizing illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens. Rubio nailed it: Van Hollen would rather sip drinks with criminals than secure our border.
When Van Hollen tried claiming he “regretted” confirming Rubio as secretary, the conservative firebrand didn’t flinch. “Your regret confirms I’m doing a good job,” Rubio fired back, drawing cheers from Americans tired of weak leadership. This clash showed real strength versus liberal weakness on full display.
Van Hollen later claimed the margarita glasses were “a setup” by Salvadoran officials. But patriots aren’t fooled – this is the same old Democrat game of making excuses for lawbreakers. While they wine and dine criminals, Rubio stays focused on deporting threats and putting America first.
The heated exchange exposed the Left’s dangerous priorities. Democrats fight harder for illegal gang members than for crime victims in Baltimore or Chicago. Rubio’s bold stand proves conservatives won’t back down from protecting our streets, even when liberals side with murderous cartels.
This isn’t about politics – it’s about survival. Every day, fentanyl and gang violence pour across our open borders while Democrats play courtroom games. Rubio’s message rings true for hardworking Americans: Deport criminals first, ask questions later. Our families’ safety can’t wait.
