GOP lawmaker’s take on how to deal with illegal alien thugs sparks leftist media outrage

February 2, 2024 | | Print Article

Criminal-coddling leftists flipped out after a Republican lawmaker offered up his provocative take on how one of the illegal alien thugs who beat up two NYPD police officers should be dealt with.

If a picture truly speaks a thousand words then the image of one of the foreign creeps shooting the double bird at the camera as he walks out of jail without posting bail is it, an image that could prove to be a major problem for the open borders advocates going forward.

In a post to X in which he replied to a suggestion by a fellow GOP House member who said that the cartels should be called to take him back, Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) unleashed a take that was so hot that it was censored by the “free speech” platform.

“Or we could buy him a ticket on Pinochet Air for a free helicopter ride back,” Collins wrote.

The congressman was, of course, referring to Chile’s General Augusto Pinochet who in 1973 led a military coup that toppled the government of Marxist President Salvador Allende who perished during the overthrow.

Pinochet would then become the Latin American nation’s president, an office that he held until 1990, running a tight ship that at times crossed the line into often extreme methods as he undertook a brutal crackdown against the communists with some alleged to have been taken on one-way helicopter rides, being thrown from the birds while they were in the air.

The post has been partially hidden and slapped with a warning label: “This Post violated the X Rules. However, X has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Post to remain accessible.”

Rep. Collins not only triggered the censors at X, but also left-wingers who squealed in protest, possibly getting nervous that the political winds were shifting against them.

One who got his panties in a bunch was MSNBC’s prissy host Chris Hayes.

“I think sitting members of Congress calling for murdering people using the Pinochet regime’s preferred method of dropping them out of helicopters is really not great,” he whined.

More wailing from Hayes’ fellow leftists.

But does Collins have a point? Some X users seem to think so.

The video of the attack on the two members of New York’s Finest in Times Square where they were struck and kicked by a pack of foreigners went viral, another example of former President Donald J. Trump being right once again with his warnings of dangerous criminals who are getting into the U.S. courtesy of Biden rolling out the welcome mat.

While no one is seriously suggesting that some of the new arrivals should actually be thrown out of helicopters – at least not yet anyway – the incident in the Big Apple shows that there needs to be a much stronger response to those who come to America and commit criminal acts – and there a hell of a lot of them.
