What an excellent catch this is. And yes, we verified that it's true.
As Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen continues his margarita tour of El Salvador, in the hopes of bringing back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, check out what Van Hollen posted back in 2017:
Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ Look at the date ...
We took a screenshot in case he deletes it now.
Tony Kinnett (@TheTonus) ~ Well, well, well ...
Ah, Van Hollen - you sleazy, slimy, stinky piece of sh!t.
Just Frank (@DJJustFrank) ~ This aged well.
Like gas station sushi. In a car trunk. In July.
Nick Freitas (@NickJFreitas) ~ Wait ... aren’t you the guy that just went to try and save the MS13 guy?
The DOJ and courts have said there's evidence Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13. Van Hollen was not willing to deny that affiliation in an interview with Dana Bash (seriously, watch her face as he whiffs this softball question).
And just a few years ago, Van Hollen was railing against MS-13.
What changed, Chris?
Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) ~ It's just (D)ifferent when Trump does something THEY wanted to do. I'm honestly becoming more convinced that NONE of these Democrats actually have a true moral compass. It seems to blow towards ANYTHING anti-Trump. I can't believe I was duped by them for years.
It's always (D)ifferent.
Dee Al (@DDAlDNA) ~ Shame on @ChrisVanHollen for championing a criminal and ignoring all these women who were brutally assaulted, raped, and murdered.
Rachel Morin was one of Van Hollen's constituents, too.
Frank Zamboni (@SigSomd) ~ Because it’s all they have. Narrative. To fool you into thinking something is important that isn’t.
It's all political performative grandstanding. And nothing more.
There's ALWAYS a Post! Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen Once Sang a VERY Different Tune About MS-13
