The New York Times reported that one of Bukele’s aides planted the tropical-looking drinks on the table to make it look like Abrego Garcia was living large. Van Hollen confirmed this on Friday. “This is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will go to deceive people about what’s going on,” he said, “and it also shows the lengths that the Trump administration and the president will go to, because when he was asked … about this, he just went along for the ride.”
Van Hollen added that Bukele’s government wanted the meeting to take place by a pool: “They actually wanted to have the meeting [take place] by the side of the pool in the hotel,” he said. “This is a guy who’s been in CECOT. This is a guy who has been detained. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar, which, of course, is a big fat lie.”
I’m “amazed” and “shocked” that a politician did a photo op. That’s so unlike politicians…
He’s the only one who even gives a shit. The rest just acts dumb. Especially Pam Bambi or whatever the fuck is her name. First she says it was a mistake, few days later claim he was this notorious MS13 gang leader and evidence backs it up, they release the evidence and it says he has no criminal record. They still claim he won’t be returned to USA.
For this senator (iirc) to show he is actually doing he had to make some photo evidence with the guy wrongfully imprisoned there. Otherwise no one would believe it.
What are you talking about.
You don’t know what a politician is?
There’s a lot of propaganda and propagandists on Lemmy. It’s unclear if he’s an originator of it, or if he’s just swallowed it whole.
Yes. It’s all from me. You’ve figured it out. Congratulations.
He pulled a dude out of a Concentration Camp, brought him to a hotel, put fake drinks in front of him, then made jokes about it on social media.
He is not a politician. He literally calls himself “the world’s coolest dictator”.
Only nobody got shot so Bukele could give a fist raise.
