Another day, another Democrat defends an MS-13 illegal

OPINION:

Democrats need to lighten up the lingo.

A Democrat state representative for Rhode Island named Enrique Sanchez slammed on social media federal agents as “Nazi Gestapo ICE thugs” after they conducted a sweep in Providence of illegals. He also called their legal operation a kidnapping, accused them of acting outside the law, likened their arrest to a terrorist act and vowed to take action against them.

Only Democrats would dare to defend illegals so boldly.

But their rhetoric is lunacy and no doubt fueling the heavily medicated lunatics who make up their voting base to react in violence.

“The Nazi Gestapo ICE thugs kidnapped another of our neighbor[s] in Providence this morning,” Sanchez wrote on social media, The Blaze reported.

“The ICE thugs,” he went on, “damaged a couple cars that belonged to residents as well. They think they are above the law.”

“I strongly condemn this act of terror,” he continued, “and will be demanding answers and seeking action. … I am tired of this s—-. Providence doesn’t want ICE thugs in our city.”

But here’s the real kicker: The guy this Democrat is defending is actually an MS-13 gang member, according to federal agents.

His name is Ivan Rene Mendoza Meza, 27, a Honduran national who is in the country illegally and who is “a self-admitted member of the violent MS-13 gang,” Fox News reported.

And the cars Sanchez claimed were damaged by ICE agents?

Umm. 

“ICE sources told Fox News that during the operation, Mendoza attempted to flee, causing a crash by striking ICE vehicles before running into his apartment,” Fox reported. 

Another day.

Another Democrat defending an illegal criminal thug from law, from order, from accountability, from federal agents who are trying to protect this nation and keep the communities safe from violence.
