Inside Democrats' scramble to travel to El Salvador [View all]


https://www.axios.com/2025/04/16/democrats-el-salvador-trump-deportation-cecot

The second House Democrat who spoke anonymously, a centrist, called the deportation issue a "soup du jour," arguing Trump is "setting a trap for the Democrats, and like usual we're falling for it."

"Rather than talking about the tariff policy and the economy ... the thing where his numbers are tanking, we're going to go take the bait for one hairdresser," they said, likely referring to Andry Hernandez Romero.

Only if Trump tries to deport U.S. citizens, the lawmaker argued, will Democrats need to draw a "line in the sand" and "shut down the House."


I'm not speechless, quite the opposite.
However, I will refrain from expressing those thoughts within this forum so as not to violate our rules of decorum.

Suffice it to say that I find the quote, if accurate, demonstrative of abject moral depravity. Truly sickening.

Here's to it being an inaccurate quote.
Not gonna' hold my breath though.

I would like independent verification of the quote from additional sources as well if someone finds them.
