Hilarious: Team Jeffries Pushes Back on New Report About Stopping Trips to El Salvador

Democrats are so confused at this point.

Their affection for illegal aliens is sinking them, big time.

When they had members of Congress flying down to El Salvador to defend illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia while trying to bring him back, they were digging their hole even deeper. With the last trip from four Democrats, they made it look even worse when it was revealed that while they were there, they stayed at a luxury hotel.

Four More Dems Continue Down the Train Wreck Path, Now in El Salvador

But the Democrats might finally have figured out what a bad idea their actions have been.

According to a new report from The Bulwark, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was asked if he agreed with Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) that it was a “mistake" to rally around an alleged gang member, Jeffries avoided the question. He tried to take a shot at President Donald Trump instead:

“Our reaction is that Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in modern American history,” Jeffries responded.

Additionally, the report said Jeffries was privately discouraging more trips to El Salvador, according to two Democratic aides and a lawmaker.

The Jeffries team sounds like they protest too much:

“This is patently false, and thinly sourced innuendo,” Jeffries spokeswoman Christie Stephenson responded to The Post in a statement.
“When Leader Jeffries says ‘more is more’ pushback on this lawless administration, he means it. As Leader Jeffries has repeatedly said, House Democrats will never stop fighting for the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.”

Notice the spokeswoman doesn't say in that statement that they will continue to go to El Salvador.

One has to think the polling on the issue was bad.

It's also funny that Team Jeffries has come out now with this denial. It's like saying, "You thought we were finally going to have some sense on this issue. But we're insisting that we don't!" They should stop the trips, but hey, if they want to keep going, and digging that hole deeper, be my guest--as long as it isn't on the taxpayer dime.

People mocked them on X and laughed about the report.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was one of those laughing. He told Democrats to "keep it up!"

CNN commentator Scott Jennings said, "Sounds like Hakeem Jeffries finally came around to our way of thinking. Too late."

Fox's Aisha Hasnie responded, "Well that didn't go as planned."

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) said the visits had "backfired," and declared Democrats "completely out of touch with Americans."

We'll have to see if the Democrats have any more trips to luxury hotels in El Salvador now, after their protestations. I'm going to guess not.

But any way you slice it, it is too late for them on this issue. They can't change the pictures. They can't take back the dumb remarks defending the illegal alien. The Democrats have already shown their true colors, and the American people are not likely to forget they stood by an illegal alien, alleged MS-13 member, and seemed to care more about him than about murdered Americans like Rachel Morin. It's not just about what they did in this case, it's what they haven't done to help protect Americans.

Add that to their crazy response to Judge Hannah Dugan's arrest, and they've painted themselves into a corner.
