Trump calls Kilmar Abrego Garcia 'unbelievably bad'

Source: The Associated Press via the Baltimore Banner

After days of denying that he knew much about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, President Donald Trump on Friday said he knew Abrego Garcia was “unbelievably bad” and called him an “illegal alien” and “foreign terrorist.”

Trump, while speaking to reporters, had an aide fetch a piece of paper he said had information about Abrego Garcia. He said it came from the State Department and “very legitimate sources.”

“I’m just giving you what they handed to me but this is supposed to be certified stuff,” he said.

He said Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13, though Abrego Garcia has never been criminally charged in the U.S. with gang involvement. He also highlighted how the man’s wife admitted she once filed a protective order against him despite now advocating for his return.

The mainstream media is subject to corporate manipulation and censorship. They’re told not to, so they don’t.

He is always projecting. He's always blaming others and is incapable of admitting any shortcoming, guilt or wrongdoing by himself.
