In a bold display of international appetite, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., boarded a government plane to El Salvador to sample the local pupusas—thick corn tortillas stuffed with cheese and political symbolism—before promptly flying back home, sources have confirmed.
Billed as an “official diplomatic visit,” the senator’s trip included a brief stop at a small eatery in San Salvador, a photo op with an apron-clad cook, and a quick press statement about “building bridges one delicious bite at a time.” No agreements were signed, and no terrorists were returned, but he did get extra curtido to go.
Critics say the trip was little more than a taxpayer-funded food blog post, while supporters praised his “commitment to international flavor.” When asked about the cost, one aide simply replied, “It was cheaper than flying to San Francisco.”
As of press time, Van Hollen was seen researching flights to Italy after discovering gnocchi wasn’t just a rumor.
Van Hollen and the rest of his Democrat compatriots ENJOY spending other people’s money.
What in hell is wrong with you! Van Hollen went to see the notorious prison, CECOT, in El Salvador where Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was illegally sent. He was accompanied by Mr Garcia’s lawyer, Chris Newman. They were forced to turn back by the military. Remember Garcia was illegally abducted and no one has heard anything about his condition since he was abducted.
He is a criminal who beat up his wife along with being a horrible gang member. Are you nuts? Nobody wants this idiot in America you have one ounce of sense.
Thankfully there are some virtuous people in El Salvador, unlike the judge who demanded that he be returned. He is a criminal with arrests records there, one of which for is beating his wife. Why do you support such criminal ?
He is an MS13 gang leader that abducts, rapes, traffics and murders little girls you insane piece of human trash.
He was not “abducted”. He was arrested and deported after not one but two federal judges found him to be a terrorist that entered the country illegally.
That’s called the rule of law which half wit Dumocrap imbeciles like you like to ignore.
Don’t eat that grandma, it is pure horse manure
that’s because we don’t care about garcia. he’s out of the USA that’s all we care about. they all need to go
Marsha
Say hi to your husband for me
Marsha sadly you have been duped again!
If CV wants the MS-13 criminal illegal immigrant to be returned to the USA, why doesn’t he just stay and become an activist for this El Salvador gang? He could act as their rep to promote their lifestyle but if all that fails there is always the Tattoo business. And this idiot is a Maryland Senator – WOW!
He went to support the wife beater, Garcia, whose criminal record includes domestic abuse and arrest in El Salvador. hollen is seeking notoriety at taxpayer expense by supporting this criminal. He is being kept in prison there for a reason!
You should have to pay the taxpayers back for that trip to El Salvador.
Senator Van Hollen is a disgrace to the state of Maryland and to the USA.
and why do all these senators, congress, gov. repre. get all these benefits off taxpayers money, with the salary they get they should pay for it themselves,
I to would like to fly on a plane and go eat luxury foods and have it paid for by someone else and not do a weeks works, this is why we are in a deep hole because of this freeloader government spending, there is NO need for this, CUT THIS BACK musk,
How many have noticed!
This man is the up in our face example of how far a democrat will go to destroy America . All these killings and attacks upon Americans are being paid for by Democrats . With our money they steal from us .,While republicans watch .
Biden And Kamala never tried to get the American hostages from the Oct 7 massacre out ! And they are still the hostages of Hamas today. This is the reason Trump intends to annihilate them.He has had people there trying to negotiate But it’s time to take action Otherwise more fools will be produced by democrats like this thing. Hamas refuses to return our people Because our Terrorist within Our own Americans stand with Hamas . Keeping our people hostages helps to keep the protests going for the world to see . Every protester is a terrorist . This is not free speech. And no illegal has the right to protest or free speech! HAMAS IS The very people that rape 4 yrs olds before strangling them to death So they can cut their bodies up.
Not one member of Our chambers even mentison our people. It proves that our enemies are those who sit in our government!!. But democrats kiss the anus of Hamas and gave them the millions to kill with. Just like Obama gave Iran a plane load of unmarked bills to create weapons to kill Americans with . Way to go people I! The half Black illegal was never suppose to sit in our house
Why are Americans protesting to keep illegals especially dangerous murderers?
Sen. Chris Van Hollen should stay in El Savadore and become a “citizen” there, and be declared illegal if he tries to come back to the USA ever again. He’s just an ungrateful S.O.B.
