Gingrich specifically critiqued Democrat Senator Chris van Hollen for advocating the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 gang member recently deported to El Salvador, remarking that Van Hollen has never shown equivalent concern for the victims of illegal immigration.He described Democratic lawmakers as &#8220;deranged,&#8221; arguing they are <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">increasingly adopting radical positions<\/a> that alienate them from mainstream American sentiments. Gingrich humorously compared the situation to a recurring joke from the &#8220;Peanuts&#8221; comic strip, suggesting the Democrats are incapable of maintaining their composure amidst the political antics. Other politicians,including Rep. mike collins and Trump himself, have also ridiculed Van Hollen&#8217;s focus on Garcia, adding to the narrative of party disarray.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Gingrich laughs at &lsquo;deranged&rsquo; Democrats falling into Trump&rsquo;s trap: &lsquo;It&rsquo;s funny&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2102062\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/newt-gingrich\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Newt Gingrich<\/a> could not help but laugh at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Democratic Party&rsquo;s<\/a> frequent resistance against President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a>, suggesting the president has &ldquo;a knack&rdquo; for entrapping his political opponents.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Gingrich was perplexed by Democratic lawmakers, specifically Sen.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3386476\/karoline-leavitt-abrego-garcia-shame-on-chris-van-hollen\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Van Hollen<\/a>&nbsp;(D-MD), go<\/span>ing &ldquo;off the deep end&rdquo; in seeking to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States after he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doj-declines-to-answer-judges-questions-on-venezuelan-migrant-flights-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"DOJ declines to answer judge\u2019s questions on Venezuelan migrant flights - Washington Examiner\">mistakenly deported<\/a> to El Salvador, even after the&nbsp;U.S. Department of Homeland Security determined Garcia to be an MS-13 gang member.
