Winner Of 'Next Dem Going To El Salvador Award' Has A Small Problem With Her Statement

Posted • April 19, 2025: In the wake of Democrat Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen's embarrassing excursion to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia which was captured in damning margarita photos, there had been other Democrats who supposedly were thinking about going. It's like volunteering for an own goal or rushing to board a sinking ship, but they were still doing it. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) and Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) asked the House Oversight Committee to fund their trip. Chair James Comer (R-KY) just leveled them in his response, completely shutting them down and refusing to fund it with taxpayer money. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) had been talking about going but I'm not seeing anything further about that in the last couple of days. So perhaps he's thought better of it. But there appears to be a winner in the "next Democrat going to El Salvador" award: Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-Or), a leftist from Oregon (of course). Here's a reminder of who Maxine Dexter is.

Meet Maxine Dexter, Democrat from Oregon. This is the lunatic Democrats have now decided to send to El Salvador. “We have to f*ck Trump!" https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1913408164474839040/vid/avc1/1280x720/yzyugYIybQIPWgy-.mp4 —— How do you top that insanity? You go to El Salvador to "demand" the release of an illegal alien, an alleged MS-13 gang member. Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) announced she is traveling to El Salvador to demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “A legal U.S. resident has had his due process rights ripped away and is now being held indefinitely in a foreign prison. This is not just one family’s nightmare; it is a constitutional crisis that should outrage every single one of us,” Dexter said in a statement. “I will travel to El Salvador to confront this crisis head on. Our constitutional rights are on the line.” Additional details to come, office says.

You could have stopped reading at "a legal U.S. resident." No, he wasn't a "legal resident." This shows you the worth of anything else she has to say, which is: zero. The fact that he was an illegal alien isn't even in dispute. So this whole exercise is nonsensical to begin with because even if El Salvador let him go, he's never going to be able to come back here and stay. He would just be deported somewhere else. So what exactly are they even doing here with all this performance theater? Speaking of "constitutional crisis," where was she when her party was covering up Joe Biden's cognitive decline and making up constitutional amendments? She claimed Trump was trying to "incite fear" and that "no one was safe in Trump's America" -- as she tried to incite fear about Trump's deportations. —— Oregon Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Dexter will be going to El Salvador to demand the release of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Who's paying for it? Is she paying on her own dime to go and perform for the cameras or is she going on the American taxpayers' dime? Did she go to Gaza to demand the return of the American hostages who were being held there by Hamas -- you know, actual American citizens? I don't remember reading about that. At some point, you would think Democrats would learn that they were on a sinking ship on this issue. But it sounds like it's not that point yet and some like Dexter want to go down with the ship.
