Dem Rep.’s fiery exchange with DHS Secretary Noem on Abrego

I want to put to rest this question about Mr. Garcia in this photo that the president posted on April 21. Madam Secretary, you agree that the letters MS and the number 13 in Times Roman numeral font that they are doctorred on this photo. Right, Congressman Garcia? No, no, I’m just asking about the MS. It wasn’t based off of tattoos. It was based off an entire case. And I’ll accept I’ll I’ll accept that against him for the purpose of this question. You agree though that this is doctorred. Is that right? The same protocols that are secretary I want you to have credibility and I want you to be taken seriously. Is this doctorred or is it not doctor? I am taken quite seriously because noted about the importance that the president has given me to do I understand. Is it doctorred or not? The thing that’s important to remember is that every single time a case is built madam secretary I have a seven-year-old, a six-year-old and a three-year-old. I have a detector. I’m just asking you is this doctorred or not doctorred? Sir, the protocols in the case built against the question were exactly the same. I don’t have any knowledge as to that photo you’re pointing to. Okay. Can you take Can you show the photo? Walk her the photo down there. No, that one. Please take a look at this photo. It was tweeted by the president on April 21. It’s been hanging out there for about a month. So, what is your point? My question is the numbers and the letter MS13. Could you look at the photo, please? It’s right in front of me. Are you saying Abrago Garcia is not a wife here? No, ma’am. That he’s not a criminal, he’s not a human trafficker, not a member of MS. You vouched for Mr. Garcia when your team said, “Ma’am, your you vouched for him when you said he was mistakenly deported.” I didn’t vouch for him. I did not say that in that photo. Been deported. Absolutely. It’s so you won’t look at the

During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) grills Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem about a photo President Trump posted to his social media in which the letters and numbers “M-S-1-3” appeared to have been digitally added to Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckles.
“It’s so telling that you won’t look at the photo,” Swalwell says.

  4. Isn't she the same woman who began dancing YMCA correctly behind Trump, doing his double handi shuffle, and sheepishly reduced her hand movements. They're so afraid of Trump

  6. The left being up in arms about a doctored photo when they spent the last 8 years going on and on about “Russia-gate,” having kangaroo-court impeachments, conducting SC Justice nominee smear campaigns, leaning into the Biden laptop coverup, obfuscating the mental decline of Joe Biden, and so on – is peak clown show behavior.

  16. She's not answering because the cartels are paying her bills and will disappear in a moments notice .she's basically with the cartels.

  20. THAT PHOTO IS PHOTO SHOP. TRUMP SHOULD BE ACCUSED OF LYING AND TRYING TO FRAME A MAN. & NOEM SHOULD BE FIRED SHE IS EVIL & UNFAIR TO PPL.

  23. I see too many of these video where nobody can answer the question.. a simple yes or no question and the answers are : "You have to understand the context of…", "I don't know", "I don't have the right to answer", "I can't answer","I won't answer you question because it's irrelevant", "I'm not an expert, so I can't prononce myself", " …. ", …

  24. It's amazing how dumb and ignorant most of you are. You stand up for criminals more than your own law abiding citizens. Of course MS13 was doctored on the photo, it's to explain what each tattoo symbolizes.

  30. It’s doctored any one can tell an say it’s fake with the ms3 the clear indicator is the fact that it’s darker then the ones below it on the hand unless you are to tell me that actually he had it done while being transferred to the facility which even then shouldn’t the 3 or the M for that matter curve with the knuckle because my tattoo sure does lol

  31. Even if this guy has done something; just from the way she is answering questions, I don’t believe a word that comes out of the mouth of that woman. Just common sense.

  43. Yes, the numerals are photoshopped, and if Trump or somebody else thinks it's not, they are wrong. But the fact is that those tatoos do represent MS13 and that is what it's important. Why is the media and/or democrats not focusing on that fact?
    Which fact is really relevant?

  44. This happens all the time. Why can't this administration answer simple yes or no questions? Are they that afraid of losing their jobs?

  45. It's just mind boggling 🤯 how they will not in any which shape or form admit or answer any questions that are asked. It is unbelievable how telling this truly is.
