Senator Chris Van Hollen looked flustered and angry this week as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shut down his drama over an illegal immigrant. The Maryland Democrat got caught in another embarrassing lie about his “Margaritagate” stunt in El Salvador. Noem stood strong defending President Trump’s lawful deportation of criminal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Van Hollen whined about fake “margarita” photos staged by El Salvador’s government to make him look bad. But real Americans know the truth – this was a desperate ploy to distract from open-border failures. While Van Hollen sipped imaginary drinks, our brave ICE agents protect families from dangerous criminals.
Secretary Noem didn’t back down when the red-faced senator tried blaming Trump for enforcing immigration laws. She reminded him that Abrego Garcia had multiple arrests and was here illegally. Unlike Democrats, Republicans believe in safety over sobriety theatrics with foreign leaders.
The “Maryland Man” at the center of this circus isn’t some innocent victim. Records show Abrego Garcia had run-ins with law enforcement for years. Yet Democrats like Van Hollen want you crying over his deportation instead of supporting police.
This whole margarita mess proves liberal politicians care more about photo ops than your security. They’ll fly to foreign countries to hug criminals but ignore American victims of illegal immigration. President Trump’s team actually stops the drugs and gangs flooding through Biden’s wrecked borders.
Van Hollen’s meltdown shows how scared Democrats are of November’s election. They can’t defend record-high illegal crossings or fentanyl deaths. So they invent soap operas about fake drinks while children overdose in our streets.
Real leaders like Kristi Noem stay focused on solutions, not TV drama. While liberals stage pity parties for lawbreakers, Trump Republicans deport threats and build the wall. The choice is clear – safety or salt-rimmed lies.
Hardworking Americans are tired of this nonsense. We want our tax dollars spent on veterans, not vanity trips for politicians to coddle criminals. President Trump and Secretary Noem will keep cleaning up the Democrats’ border disaster – with or without the margaritas.
