Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a fiery defense of American security during a Senate hearing, shredding Democratic attempts to protect violent criminals. The showdown with Senator Chris Van Hollen exposed the radical left’s dangerous priorities – putting gang members before citizens. Rubio’s no-nonsense approach showed why conservatives trust him to keep our streets safe.
Rubio ripped Van Hollen for jetting to El Salvador to meet Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported MS-13 suspect. Photos showed the Maryland Democrat sitting with Garcia at a table sporting margarita glasses. While Van Hollen claims it was a setup, Rubio blasted the stunt as proof liberals care more about criminals than victims. “We deported gang members – including the one you had a margarita with,” Rubio fired.
The secretary didn’t back down when Van Hollen whined about regretting Rubio’s confirmation. “Your regret confirms I’m doing a good job,” Rubio shot back. True leaders don’t apologize for removing killers and traffickers. Rubio’s toughness contrasts with Democrats who coddle gang thugs while ignoring border chaos.
El Salvador’s president mocked Van Hollen’s trip online, posting the boozy photos with a sarcastic jab. Even our allies see how weak Democrats look cozying up to violent criminals. Rubio’s right – we shouldn’t let judges or activists handcuff our deportation efforts. America First means removing threats, not hosting cocktail hours with them.
Van Hollen’s weepy “due process” complaints ring hollow. MS-13 butchers don’t deserve sympathy – they deserve prison cells. Rubio understands that every minute spent defending gang members is a betrayal to their victims. Conservatives want justice, not excuses for cartel associates.
The Trump administration’s deportations have made neighborhoods safer. Rubio’s refusal to apologize for kicking out killers should be celebrated. Meanwhile, Democrats keep undermining border agents and cheering open borders. This hearing proved which party stands with law enforcement – and which party sips margaritas with murderers.
Rubio’s razor-sharp takedown electrified patriots tired of soft-on-crime politicians. Van Hollen’s stunt backfired spectacular
