What Democrats thought would be their next great publicity stunt has blown up in their faces in the most spectacular fashion imaginable. Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) brought an illegal immigrant named Marcelo Gomes da Silva to President Trump's State of the Union address last month, thinking he could score cheap political points against the administration's immigration policies. Instead, he's created a PR nightmare that perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the left's open-borders agenda.
The Massachusetts Democrat's carefully orchestrated political theater was designed to put a sympathetic face on illegal immigration and counter President Trump's mass deportation efforts. Moulton even went so far as to hide da Silva in his office during the speech, according to social media reports that are now going viral.
But here's where this story takes a dark turn that should shock every American parent: da Silva isn't the innocent victim Democrats wanted to parade around. According to multiple reports now circulating on social media, this "upstanding" illegal immigrant appears in not one, but TWO police reports involving sexual assault allegations and minors.
Social Media Erupts Over Democrat's Dangerous Guest
Patriots on social media are rightfully outraged by this revelation. Twitter user @PauletteCl50172 broke down the situation perfectly: "Wow, Rep. Seth Moulton special guest to SOTU address was illegal immigrant, ok, however this same 'upstanding' illegal was in 2 reports by police regarding sexual assault of Minors. Not saying he was perp but dang!"
Another user, @1Nicdar, didn't mince words: "It's now been revealed that democrat Seth Moulton did indeed bring an illegal immigrant to President Trump's SOTU speech, and then hid him in his office. Marcelo Gomes da Silva is the name of the illegal, and he's in two police reports involving sexual assault."
"This video and other videos are being circulated by Democrats, proud of this illegal immigrant, Marcelo Gomes da Silva, where Seth Moulton smuggled him into the SOTU speech and then hid him in his office! da Silva is in police reports involving sexual assault and minors."
This catastrophic vetting failure raises serious questions about Democrat priorities. While President Trump works tirelessly to protect American families through robust deportation efforts, Democrats are literally bringing potential predators into the halls of Congress as honored guests.
How many more Marcelo Gomes da Silvas are Democrats protecting while they obstruct Trump's America First immigration agenda? And how can any parent trust a party that celebrates individuals with such serious allegations against them?
