Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) stepped in a steaming pile, big time, and now he’s scrambling to wipe the mess off his shoes after his El Salvador stunt went full dumpster fire. The guy who thought he’d play hero by “rescuing” a deported MS-13 thug is now moon-dancing away from the wreckage of his own making, and it’s a glorious train-wreck to behold.
When Van Hollen touched down in San Salvador, he was strutting like a peacock, ready to flex his virtue for the X crowd. “I just landed in San Salvador,” he crowed on April 16, 2025, acting like he was about to save some innocent soul named Kilmar Abrego Garcia from “illegal abduction.” Check the receipts:
I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home. pic.twitter.com/MzKe7U8Wwr— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) April 16, 2025Two days later, he’s still milking the photo-op, gushing about his heart-to-heart with Kilmar like it’s some Hallmark moment that's reminiscent of Tampon Tim waving on stage. “I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love,” he posted on April 18, 2025.
Cue the violins and pass the barf bags.
By the time he’s done, he’s pointing fingers at both Presidents Bukele and Trump, accusing them of orchestrating this whole debacle to humiliate him. He doesn't realize that he just isn't that important.
This isn’t just a far-left politician eating grasshoppers in hopes to run for President in a few years—it’s a five-star Michelin meltdown.

But oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Turns out, Kilmar isn’t some wrongfully deported saint—he’s an MS-13 gangbanger with a rap sheet that includes human trafficking and domestic abuse, according to the Trump administration’s receipts. Van Hollen’s grand plan to dunk on Trump’s immigration policies? Yeah, it backfired so hard it’s practically a self-inflicted knockout.
Now, instead of owning the "L", Van Hollen’s out here spinning a conspiracy yarn so wild it could headline a Reddit thread. At a frantic press conference, he tried to dodge the fallout with a story about—get this—“Margaritagate.” No, really. He claims the whole thing was a setup by El Salvador’s President Bukele to make him look like a fool, as if he couldn't accomplish that without help.

He claims the whole thing was a setup by El Salvador’s President Bukele to make him look like a fool, as if he couldn't accomplish that without help.
Here’s the senator in full damage-control mode:
“I just want to take a moment—I hadn’t planned to do this,” Van Hollen said during a hastily arranged press availability. “But as I was landing on the airplane, I got a transcript of some questions President Trump was asked at the White House today about what I would call ‘Margaritagate.’ I don’t know if you guys have been following this…”He’s got the nerve to claim the viral photo of him and Kilmar with what looked like margaritas was a Salvadoran government sting operation. “When I first sat down with Kilmar, we just had glasses of water on the table, I think maybe some coffee,” he whined. “And as we were talking, one of the government people came over and deposited two other glasses on the table with ice and I don’t know if it was salt or sugar around the top. But they looked like margaritas.”
Spoken like a politician caught by a traffic cop for a DUI stop.
But no, he’s not done yet. He’s out here playing CSI: San Salvador, analyzing the glass rims like he’s cracking the Da Vinci Code. “If you look at the one they put in front of Kilmar, it actually had a little less liquid than the one in front of me, to try to make it look, I assume, like he drank out of it,” he said. “Let me just be very clear. Neither of us touched the drinks that were in front of us.”
“If you look at the video or the picture I sent out from the beginning of our meeting, you’ll see there are no glasses on the table,” he said. “So you’ll see in later videos, they are on the table, but they made a little mistake… If you sip out of one of those glasses, some of whatever it was—salt or sugar—would disappear. You would see a gap. There’s no gap. Nobody drank any margaritas or sugar water or whatever it is.”

“This is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will go to deceive people about what’s going on,” he fumed. “And it also shows the lengths that the Trump administration and the president will go to, because when he was asked by a reporter about this, he just went along for the ride.”
This isn’t just a far-left politician eating grasshoppers in hopes to run for President in a few years—it’s a five-star Michelin meltdown.
Van Hollen’s team is in overdrive, trying to memory-hole his “humanitarian” crusade now that Kilmar’s MS-13 ties are out in the open. This tiny oversight by Van Hollen's team may qualify them for another gang: IQ-13.
What started as a smug attempt to shame Trump has turned into a diplomatic clown show, with Van Hollen as the ringmaster. Next time, maybe check the guy’s rap sheet before you book the flight, Senator. He makes George Floyd look like a boy scout.
