President Trump, Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller and other members of this administration have spent a good portion of the day dunking on an activist media that’s been pushing the Democrats’ preferred narrative about the illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador.
Rubio put it this way:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio doesn’t understand how the media can’t grasp why Kilmar Abrego Garcias was deported:

Another example of that came courtesy of Politico:

The dishonesty here is astounding. There was nothing wrong with deporting a citizen of another country. https://t.co/JQ02ZkepPA

“Astounding dishonesty” is what they do best. Maybe Politico’s still a little angry at the Trump White House for cutting off their USAID subscription gravy train.
