Rep. Jasmine Crockett ripped for claiming Trump is more dangerous than suspected MS-13 gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia
Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett received swift backlash after claiming President Trump is more dangerous than suspected MS-13 gang member, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador last month.
The Texas lawmaker was accused of “living in an alternate reality” after claiming Abrego Garcia is “a lot less criminal” than Trump when she was asked about Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s attempts to help the deported illegal migrant during an interview on MSNBC.
“If Senator Van Hollen can get down there, if the president can get up here and get to the White House, then I don’t understand why we can’t get Abrego up out of there,” Crockett said during an interview on “The Katie Phang Show.”
“I mean, we know that they admitted that they were wrong. Now they’re trying to double back and say, well, he’s this terrible person and all this kind of stuff. But here’s the reality. As far as I’m concerned, he’s a lot less criminal than the person that’s sitting in the White House, because last time I checked, he doesn’t have any criminal convictions,” she added.
Critics quickly ripped the Democrat for the sensational declaration.
“Jasmine Crockett is living in an alternate reality if she thinks that President Trump is worse than an MS-13 gang member,” one detractor seethed on X.
Another blasted Crockett for being “anti-American.”
A third critic accused the Texas lawmaker of suffering “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“Let’s be real — her Trump Derangement Syndrome is off the charts, and it’s no surprise she’s melting down over his first 100 days,” .
“The sheer clownery on display here is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week,” another Internet user
Abrego Garcia has been accused by the White House of being an MS-13 gangabnger and was previously suspected of human trafficking and labor trafficking, but has no criminal convictions in the US.
The Trump administration deported Abrego Garcia last month along with 260 other reputed gang members using the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act, which allowed the feds to remove them rapidly without a hearing.
Several federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have asked the Trump administration to return him to the US after his removal was found to be the result of a “clerical error.”
Abrego Garcia’s lawyers argue the Salvadoran citizen has no criminal history to back his deportation from America.
However, the Trump administration says his illegal border crossing in 2011 justifies his removal.
