Senator Who Visited Abrego Garcia Exposes 'Margarita-Gate' Setup By El Salvadoran President Bukele

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele posted a photo of Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen meeting with Kilmar Abrego Garcia claiming they were "sipping margaritas," but Van Hollen said the glasses were placed in front of them and remained untouched, as evidenced by the lack of a gap in the sugar or salt around the rim of both glasses.

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) pushed back against claims that he was "sipping margaritas" with unlawfully deported Maryland resident, Kilmar Abrego García, during their meeting in El Salvador.

The claim was made on Thursday evening by El Salvador's President, Nayib Bukele, who posted photos of the meeting in a cheeky tweet. "Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the 'death camps' & 'torture,'" it said. "Now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!🍹"
