During an appearance on CNN this week, Rep. Jamie Raskin tried to claim that Democrats have not defended Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal immigrant, human trafficker who was deported to El Salvador.
What is Raskin smoking? All Democrats have done is defend him. They’ve turned him into a Democrat hero.
As you’ll see below, raskin himself has even defended him.
Transcript via the Western Lensman on Twitter/X:
Jamie Raskin in desperate spin mode on Democrat hero Abrego-Garcia, now charged with human trafficking:
“I don’t know of a single Democrat who defended him…specifically against any crimes.”
“He got unceremoniously picked up and flown out of the country. That’s called a disappearance. That’s what happens in authoritarian societies.”
“They obviously want to make this about whether or not he ends up being a good guy or a bad guy.”

Ratskin is such a liar. He had multiple deportation orders from two different judges.
And all the Dems defended him. All he has is lying because he’s a criminal masquerading as a congressman.

All the Democrats do is lie. Why they picked this particular guy to celebrate as some kind of hero is anyone’s guess.
