DNC vice-chairman David Hogg and former Chief of Staff of former President Donald Trump Reiss Pliebas collided on Sunday during the ABC’s fiery exchange “this week.”
Pliebus, who served as chairman of the RNC from 2011 to 2017, began a war of words when he said that he was “excluded from the party” in his first term, when he said that if he was in charge of the DNC. Plievas was answering questions about how he would handle the pledge to spend $20 million on the incumbent of an elderly Democrat.
“It’s $20 million from DNC’s pocket. You won’t be able to join the board of Fishing and Forestry Company and Greenpeace at the same time,” Priebus said.
Hogg’s plan draws out the rage of his party, calling it a longtime Democratic strategist shot Parkland dead, calling it a “lightly empty little twerp.” The former RNC chairperson has denounced the Democrats and accused them of being a confused party that doesn’t know how to effectively counter Trump.

A former Trump official had mentioned that Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) would travel to El Salvador to meet Kilmer Abrego Garcia. Garcia, an illegal immigrant living in Maryland, was deported to his home country, El Salvador, and imprisoned in the country’s infamous Cecot Mega Prison. Democrats accused Trump of denying a court order to deport Garcia, who has no criminal history, to a country that later imprisoned him without justice.
The Trump administration has released records showing Garcia claiming to be a member of MS-13 and his wife once accused him of domestic violence. Van Hollen flew to El Salvador to meet Garcia on Friday to defend his release. El Salvadoran officials have announced that Garcia had been transferred to another prison before Van Hollen arrived.

Hogg accused Garcia via Priebus of intentionally misleading the audience about his criminal status.
“This wasn’t a member of the MS-13 gang. You know that very well,” replied Hogg. “The administration has admitted that this is wrong. There is a legitimate process in America. We are a land of law and order, and this administration has repeatedly shown that it doesn’t bother the Supreme Court saying it. They don’t care about the rule of law, and you can’t protect it to another country where they don’t have rights.”
Priebus responded that the polls show that the majority of Americans support a massive deportation of illegal immigrants, and that “all Intel Community Institutions” have concluded that Garcia is a member of MS-13.
