President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social media account to jab Sen. Chris Van Hollen over his visit with alleged gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Trump described Van Hollen (D-MD) as a "fool" looking for attention and finding it in the worst possible way - fighting tooth and nail for a gang-affiliated illegal alien.
"Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland looked like a fool yesterday, standing in El Salvador begging for attention from the Fake News Media, or anyone," the President wrote early Friday morning. "GRANDSTANDER!!"
Democrat lawmakers have remained intent on defending Abrego Garcia even as they ignore his reported gang ties, his suspicion of human trafficking, and the protective orders filed by his wife.

Van Hollen went so far as to visit him in prison in El Salvador. Images were shared on X in which he is fawning over the man two judges have determined is likely to be a member of MS-13.

My goodness. Some people in prison probably don't get conjugal visits with that amount of love.
Van Hollen himself posted an update on X, saying he had achieved his goal of meeting "with Kilmar" (they're on a first-name basis, apparently) and noting he called Abrego Garcia's wife to "pass along his message of love."
Hopefully, this message will be received better than some of his past messages to his wife. Messages that prompted her to file multiple protective orders against him.
Think about that for a moment - Van Hollen is sipping cherry-garnished drinks with an MS-13 gang member who once forced his wife to report to authorities that he "hit me with his work boot" and left her with "a purple eye."
And he's trying to convince you that he's a loving husband.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained the written domestic violence allegations from Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife in 2021, in which she alleges he is a repeat wife beater & writes “At this point, I am afraid to be close to him. I have multiple photos/videos of how violent he can be and all… pic.twitter.com/s7yCji9jjq

Kush Desai, the White House Deputy Press Secretary, also lambasted Van Hollen over his stunt.
"Chris Van Hollen has firmly established Democrats as the party whose top priority is the welfare of an illegal alien MS-13 terrorist," he said. "It is truly disgusting. President Trump will continue to stand on the side of law-abiding Americans."
El Salvador's President, Nayib Bukele, also taunted the ambiguously stray duo on social media, stating that Abrego Garcia had "miraculously risen from the 'death camps' [and] 'torture'" for a visit with Van Hollen in his country's "tropical paradise."
The Maryland Democrat has continued his assault on reality, describing his current muse as having been "abducted" and insisting he will continue "fighting" for his return.
The resistance party just got shellacked in the elections in large part due to their open border, pro-criminal illegal alien policies, and they've responded by dying on a hill of support for an alleged wife-beating gang-running terrorist.
The Democrat Party's approval rating in upcoming polls is going to rank somewhere between a root canal and gonorrhea. Can they possibly be more out of touch?
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
