Conservative attorney George Conway hammered away at Donald Trump and his administration's efforts to deny responsibility for mistakenly shipping a 29-year-old Maryland man to El Salvador and then doing all they can do to avoid bringing him back.
Noting the DOJ's footdragging on repatriating Kilmar Abrego García, Conway told the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend' that Trump officials are full of it when they claim their hands are tied.
With co-host Symone Sanders Townsend prompting her guest with "This is the same facility that the DHS secretary [Kristi Noem] who has been playing dress up, she went down to El Salvador, to this prison and played dress up ––."
"With the $50,000 Rolex watch," Conway interjected.
"I saw the watch, honey," Sanders Townsend continued. "They put her in the prison and got her out. The United States government is paying for the men that have been sent to this facility; they literally gave millions and millions of dollars to El Salvador for payment for the men that are there. Why can't they just get him out?"
"That's a good question," her guest replied. "I mean, I looked up an article today that was from February from the Associated Press when [Marco] Rubio said, 'Oh my gosh. The president of El Salvador has made this wonderful offer to us.and he basically said, not only we can, not only is he offering to hold migrants, he's offering to hold American citizens.'"
"He's offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentence in the United States even though they're U.S. citizens or legal residents," he added before pointing out, "If you're doing. that you can get them back."
"This is bull, okay? And they're playing games with this federal judge just like that lawyer said," he snapped. "They're sending somebody to the court who probably doesn't know the answer. Like all you say, 'I'm going to send you to court. I ain't going to tell you anything you can say.' So then the lawyer just goes, 'I'm sorry, judge, I don't have any answer to your questions,' even though these are basic questions."
