Yea or Nay?

I have a question for you. How does it make sense that a senator (U.S. elected official) would align himself with a known gang member¹ who had been in this country illegally, and was legally deported? He actually flew to El Salvador to meet with this individual. One would assume he would go to the prison, be escorted to a meeting room and sit behind glass and have a brief conversation.

If accounts I have seen are accurate, it looked more like a restaurant setting where old friends were conversing over drinks and appetizers. The MS-13 member was dressed in a plaid shirt and a ball cap, simulating normalcy.

It should be mind boggling that Senator Van Hollen's allegiance is so far out of line with our American values, but actually it is what we have come to expect from the extreme left. If conservatives are in favor of something, the liberals are against it, so much so that they are not really for anything, but only against everything that is right, just and moral. They have become truly anti-American, slaves only to hate and greed, and violence is often their response.

Back to Senator Van Hollen, and his new best friend. He personally went to check on him to make sure he was healthy and not being mistreated, yet when the Laken Riley Act was up for vote, he voted...you guessed it, NAY.

As if that is not bad enough, he could not be bothered to reach out to a grieving Maryland mom (a constituent) whose daughter was brutally murdered by yet a different illegal immigrant. No phone call was made, no personal condolences were offered. This was a high-profile case, and yet nothing was heard from the same senator who personally went to check on a recently deported gang member.

If you're not familiar with the Laken Riley Act. you can read about it here, and here you will find a story on Rachel Morin, the young lady mentioned above.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, and as always, stay safe and stay sane.

¹Some sources allege that he is affiliated with MS-13, but not initiated.
