The Democrats have been making fools out of themselves as they go to bat for violent criminal gangbangers who the Trump administration has been deporting to El Salvador for a stay in the country’s CECOT mega-prison. Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen has been the poster boy of shameless failure theater, as he was the first to head down to the Central American country to try to “save” alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
He managed to meet with the detainee, but has danced around the allegations that Abrego Garcia beat his wife and was possibly involved in human trafficking. This after he virtually ignored the brutal rape and murder of a Maryland mother of five, Rachel Morin, at the hands of a different illegal alien gang member.
If it sounds like a parody, it’s because it’s playing out like one, and Senate Republicans called out their Democrat friends on Monday with a very funny video. “¡Bienvenidos a El Salvador Senate Dems!” it begins, before encouraging them to make sure they only buy one-way tickets:

¡Bienvenidos a El Salvador Senate Dems!
Democrats should feel free to make their trip to hang out with MS-13 gangbangers one-way 😉 pic.twitter.com/hKqzwj7GT6
It looks like your basic travel commercial, complete with pretty logo and deep-voiced narrator:
Welcome to El Salvador, home to breathtaking sunsets, world class surf breaks…
But it abruptly takes a different turn:
…and gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I admit it, that made me laugh out loud. But they weren’t done exposing the Dems for the hypocrites they are:
El Salvador is the destination for democrats seeking the thrill of bringing violent criminal illegal aliens back to America. Come witness Trump Derangement Syndrome in its purest form, from Chris Van Hollen to [New Jersey Sen.] Cory Booker, you may even see [Georgia Sen.] Jon Ossoff.
Then they come in for the kill: “Step into the rhythm of rescue today,” they mocked. Perhaps that could become the Democrats’ future campaign slogan:
So what are you waiting for, Senate Democrats? Join your colleagues and step into the rhythm of rescue today.

“Spartacus” Cory Booker has been up to his usual theatrics:
🚨 LMAO! Cory Booker, aka Spartacus, is considering leading a trip of Congressmen to El Salvador to DEMAND a member of violent gang MS-13 be returned to the United States

Democrats are going ALL IN on flooding the streets with gangs.
Good luck in 2026 🤣pic.twitter.com/igPn5njh9k
As my colleague Nick Arama reported, four virtue-signalling Democrats went down to El Salvador Monday —Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-OR), Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ)—even though they were refused congressional funds to pay for their stunt by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY). They were then hilariously denied a visit with Abrego Garcia because officials determined they weren’t there in an official capacity.
This is empty theatrics at its finest. Keep it coming Dems, and keep mocking them, Republicans, because humor is a heck of a way to expose their silliness.
