“There’s no bait on those boats.”
During Thursday night’s Hannity, Fox News contributor Joe Concha criticized Democrats and the media for portraying recent U.S. military strikes on Venezuelan drug boats — linked to the sanctioned Cartel de los Soles — as harmless fishing trips.
Concha likened the far-left spin to Democrats’ defense of criminals like “Maryland Man” MS-13 suspect Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
“The memos clearly went out, by the way — fishing boats. Yeah, it’s the modern-day SS Minnow. I guess now, fishermen, that’s the new ‘Maryland Man,’” Concha said. “They’re defending him in the same way they’re trying to tell us these boats down here are the SS Minnow, just going out to catch a couple of fish, I guess.
Concha continued: “Just to get serious for a moment: 56,000 soldiers were killed during the Vietnam War. Twice as many Americans are killed by fentanyl or cocaine that come from places like Venezuela in just one year alone, and yet we see Democrats and the media defending narco-terrorists the same way they defend those who are committing violent crimes who are in the country illegally from being deported.”
“So just listen to the words of the next Mayor of New York, or the current Mayor of Chicago, or the Mayor of Los Angeles, Minneapolis, or the governor of California, for that matter. They’re defending all these folks, not realizing how foolish and pathetic they look in doing so,” Concha said.
To date, the Trump Administration has carried out more than two dozen strikes on narcoterrorist boats.
