**Disgraceful: Democrats Court Criminals While Ignoring Victims**
In a shocking display of misplaced priorities, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen is under fire for meeting with a deported illegal alien in El Salvador, a man accused of serious crimes, including ties to the notorious MS-13 gang.
Van Hollen's tête-à-tête with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man with a history of domestic violence and human trafficking, has drawn ire from both conservatives and victims’ advocates alike.
Actor James Woods, known for his vocal conservative stance, expressed his outrage on social media, stating, “Democrats will seek out any criminal ass to kiss. They are drawn to unrepentant evil like a moth to the flame,” in reaction to Van Hollen's decision to engage with a violent criminal rather than with the grieving families of crime victims in his own state.
Republican Representative Lisa McClain chimed in, criticizing Van Hollen for "breaking bread" with someone who embodies the very violence and chaos that American families fear. She condemned the Senator's actions, stating, “This is what it looks like to sell out your country and put America LAST.”
The optics of this meeting show a troubling trend among Democrats: prioritizing the rights of illegal aliens over the safety and concerns of American citizens. Angel Moms Patty Morin and Tammy Nobles, who lost their daughters to violence perpetrated by illegal aliens, have rightfully pointed out the hypocrisy in Van Hollen's actions, calling out his failure to even acknowledge their pain.
As images of Van Hollen enjoying a meal with Abrego Garcia circulate online, reactions have been unanimous in their condemnation. Social media users have expressed their disgust, suggesting that if such meetings with criminals are what it takes to secure a dialogue with El Salvador, then Van Hollen should remain there permanently.
It is painfully ironic that a U.S. Senator would choose to engage with a criminal who exploited our border security while neglecting to meet with families suffering from the consequences of such actions. Critics are urging lawmakers to realign their focus: protecting American citizens should be the priority, not pandering to those with a history of violence.
As the Trump administration had shown by strengthening border security and deporting criminals, the needs of American families must come first. With Democrats taking a different approach, it raises a critical question: who are they truly representing?
