Van Hollen Boards the Virtue-Signaling Express—To El Salvador
Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen has outdone himself. And that’s saying something for a man who’s built his – career on soft-on-crime policies, open borders fantasies, and climate cult obsessions. But this time, he went global—flying to El Salvador, on your dime, to meet with the wife of an alleged MS-13 gang member and convicted wife-beater. His mission? To deliver what he proudly called “a message of love.”
The Rap Sheet: Who Is Abrego Garcia?
Abrego Garcia is no innocent migrant seeking a better life. He’s the poster child for why we need serious border enforcement. Let’s check the stats:
-
Convicted twice for domestic abuse. Garcia allegedly threw a boot at his wife, punched her in the face, and knocked a laptop off the bed to keep her from calling for help—all while she feared for their son. What a guy.
-
Judicially confirmed ties to MS-13. Two judges, not one, said he’s in the gang. But Van Hollen must’ve missed those memos while packing his suitcase.
-
Caught trafficking seven people from Texas to Maryland. One of them was potentially on the terror watch list.
-
Driving without a license, for good measure. Because why not add another crime to the bingo card?
And this is the guy Chris Van Hollen felt compelled to comfort. He even posted about it proudly on social media, making sure the world knew he delivered his “message of love.” Someone get this man a Valentine’s Day sponsorship.
President Bukele Responds—with Savage Sarcasm
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele didn’t let the stunt go unnoticed. He mocked Van Hollen for playing hero, writing that Garcia had “miraculously risen from death camp and torture” and would be staying in El Salvador as an honored guest—in prison. You know it’s bad when foreign leaders have more common sense than a sitting U.S. senator.
Ignoring Real Victims: What About Rachel Morin?
Let’s talk about the victim Senator Van Hollen didn’t visit, call, or even acknowledge: Rachel Morin, a young woman from Maryland who was beaten to death by an illegal immigrant. You’d think a sitting senator might offer condolences to the grieving family of a murdered constituent. But no. Van Hollen had bigger priorities—like delivering love notes to MS-13 members’ families.
As Stephen Miller pointed out, Van Hollen couldn’t even pick up the phone for Rachel’s mother. He didn’t say “I’m sorry.” He didn’t offer support. He didn’t care. And that tells you everything you need to know about his priorities.
Voting Against the Laken Riley Act—Because of Course He Did
As if the El Salvador stunt wasn’t enough, Van Hollen also voted against the Laken Riley Act—a bill that would require the detention of criminal illegal immigrants and give states the power to sue the feds when they fail to do their jobs.
This was a no-brainer piece of legislation. It passed with bipartisan support. Even 12 Democrats got the message and voted yes. But not Van Hollen. Apparently, protecting Americans from dangerous criminals just doesn’t align with his brand.
Chris Van Hollen: Poster Child for a Party in Free Fall
Let’s zoom out. This isn’t just about one senator—this is about a party that has completely lost its moral compass. As Victor Davis Hanson said, Democrats are now idolizing the worst of the worst: violent criminals, Hamas sympathizers, traffickers, and killers. Meanwhile, the victims—innocent Americans—are ignored, smeared, or forgotten.
Chris Van Hollen is a walking, talking symbol of this collapse. He supports the Green New Deal, wants higher taxes on working Americans, backs progressive immigration policies that reward lawbreakers, and now, adds “MS-13 apologist” to his résumé.
Voters Are Waking Up
According to polling, 56% of Americans now support deporting all illegal immigrants—up from just 36% in 2016. Only 2% of Trump voters regret their vote, and swing states are starting to flip red again. Why? Because voters see through this insanity. They know that you don’t build a compassionate, just society by defending abusers and ignoring victims.
But don’t expect Van Hollen and the radical Left to get the memo. They’re too busy doubling down on every 90-10 issue and painting anyone who disagrees as a bigot. Meanwhile, the American people are just trying to survive the chaos.
Final Thoughts
When a U.S. senator skips past the grieving families in his own state and jets off to hug it out with a gang-linked criminal, you know we’ve crossed into clown world. Chris Van Hollen didn’t just make a bad call—he made it loudly, publicly, and on your dime.
And the next time he says he cares about “justice” or “the rule of law,” just remind him: Rachel Morin’s family never got a visit. But MS-13 did.
