Democrats have been virtue signaling over the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant who was recently deported to El Salvador. They have essentially made him the poster child for their crusade against President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
Four Democratic lawmakers, including Reps. Maxwell Frost (FL), Robert Garcia (CA), Maxine Dexter (OR), and Yassamin Ansari (AZ), traveled to San Salvador to urge the El Salvadoran government to free Abrego Garcia.
But it appears that’s not the only reason they took the trip, according to a Daily Caller exclusive report.
A source told the outlet that the lawmakers “Stayed at the Hilton San Salvador, a luxury property situated against a picturesque backdrop of the capital city’s volcano.”
The San Salvador hotel boasts rooms with scenic views of the capital city’s landscape and an outdoor terrace where guests can enjoy margaritas and dine on local culinary treats, including made-to-order pupusas. The hotel is described as providing a “tranquil retreat” for “those seeking comfort and convenience,” according to Hotels.com. Google rates the property as a five-star hotel.
House Republicans’ campaign arm sharply criticized the four Democrats for taking a “tropical vacation” during a congressional recess period when lawmakers are given time to spend in their district.
“House Democrats booked their tropical vacation to El Salvador in the lap of luxury,” National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Ben Petersen told the DCNF. “While the American people suffer the consequences of the Biden Border Crisis importing illegal immigrant crime and fentanyl, these Democrats demonstrated again they are completely out of touch with voters.”
Perhaps I should rethink my aversion to running for office.
