Okay, at first I thought Maryland's Senator visiting a gang prison in El Salvador to share Margs was just over the top and ridiculous.
Then I learned this:
So, you're telling me I paid for this stunt?
Yes, on April 17th, Daily Caller reporter Amber Duke inquired whether or not the senator used tax dollars, as some questioned whether this was an official visit.
Here's what was reported Thursday:
A committee chair's approval is typically needed for a member to go on an official congressional delegation, individuals familiar tell the Caller.
A spokesperson for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee told the Caller that committee chair Sen. Jim Risch did not approve Van Hollen's trip, but noted that some other committees and Senate leadership — including Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — have the power to approve foreign travel, so Van Hollen 'must have found another way.'
On Monday, we learned that he did use tax dollars - your money and mine - to have a photoshoot with a poor, sympathetic MS-13 gangster.
How many of your tax dollars are Democrats going to use to try to bring a foreign criminal - a member of a notorious murder gang - back to Maryland??
There is some good news, however. These four additional balloonheads tried to visit Kilmar today:
But because the House Oversight Committee chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), blocked their funding so it wasn't a taxpayer-funded visit (translation: official state visit), the Salvadoran government denied them access. 😂
A silver lining, at least!
