Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders slammed Democrat priorities as “insane” and “out of touch” during a fiery interview on Jesse Watters Primetime. Sanders blasted Democrats for rallying behind Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador over MS-13 gang ties, instead of focusing on American families. “Democrats care more about violent foreign criminals than our own citizens,” she said.
The controversy erupted after Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen flew to El Salvador using taxpayer funds to demand Garcia’s release from prison. Garcia was deported in March after multiple judges ruled he had MS-13 connections. Sanders called the trip a “disgrace,” noting Garcia had a domestic violence restraining order and was arrested wearing gang symbols. “This isn’t about compassion—it’s about undermining law enforcement,” she said.
While Democrats frame Garcia as a “Maryland father” and “victim,” federal authorities insist he’s a threat. Sanders highlighted MS-13’s history of rape, murder, and sex trafficking. “These monsters don’t belong in our communities,” she said, praising El Salvador’s president for refusing to release Garcia. “Democrats would rather coddle criminals than protect innocent Americans.”
The White House faces backlash after former President Trump suggested sending U.S. citizens convicted of gang crimes to Salvadoran prisons. Sanders endorsed the idea, saying, “If you commit horrific acts, you shouldn’t enjoy American jail comforts.” Democrats called the proposal unconstitutional, but Sanders fired back: “Soft-on-crime policies got us here.”
Judge Paula Xinis escalated the dispute by ordering Trump officials to testify about Garcia’s deportation. Sanders accused the judge of activism, saying, “Courts should enforce laws, not rewrite them.” She warned that Democrats are using the case to push open borders and erode national sovereignty.
Sanders also contrasted the Garcia drama with her own legislative wins, like axing the grocery tax and banning woke ideologies in schools. “We’re tackling real issues—inflation, education, public safety—while Democrats chase fantasy grievances,” she said. A recent poll shows 62% of Arkansans support her crackdown on crime and border security.
Protesters outside the Maryland courthouse compared Garcia’s deportation to Nazi persecution, drawing scorn from Sanders. “This hysterical rhetoric proves how unhinged the left has become,” she said. “They’ll literally defend gang members before standing up for our veterans or police.”
Wrapping up, Sanders urged voters to reject Democrats in 2026: “Americans want safety, stability, and common sense—not criminal apologists running our country into the ground.” The segment trended nationwide, with conservatives hailing Sanders as a “warrior for working families.”
