Democrats spent thousands in campaign funds to visit illegal Kilmar Abrego Garcia: report

Despite some claiming they spent money out of their own pockets, several Democrats spent thousands in campaign funds to visit illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, according to reporting by the New York Post.

Democrats rallied around Abrego Garcia after they claimed he was wrongly deported by the Trump administration to his home country of El Salvador in March.

Several Democrats, including representatives Maxwell Frost, D-Fla.; Robert Garcia, D-Calif., Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., Maxine Dexter, D-Ore.; and Glenn Ivey, D-Md., flew to El Salvador to advocate for Abrego Garcia’s return.

The New York Post reported that Frost, Garcia, Ansari and Dexter, all of whom made a joint trip to San Salvador to pressure the Trump administration to return Abrego Garcia April 21, paid for the trip through campaign funding, despite all except Garcia claiming they paid out of pocket.

The New York Post wrote that Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show Frost’s campaign reported spending $1,362 on Salvadoran-Colombian airline Avianca May 8, about a week after his trip to visit Abrego Garcia.

Dexter’s campaign similarly reportedly spent $1,315 on travel with Taca Airlines April 18, despite the representative saying he had self-funded the trip.

Despite telling a local news outlet she had used her own money for the trip, Ansari’s campaign reported in FEC filings that the congresswoman spent $2,616 on travel with Salvadoran airline Avianca the same month she flew to visit Abrego Garcia.

Meanwhile, California Democrat Garcia’s office confirmed he spent $1,982 on another Salvadoran airline, Taca International Airlines, in April, and an additional $502 for "event space rental" at the Hilton San Salvador, the outlet reported.

I love it when they spend campaign money on stuff that causes people to NOT vote for them.

A voter survey between May and June across 21 swing counties
in 10 battleground states, regions that determine future elections:
<><> showed voters perceive the Dem Party as out of touch, “woke” and weak.
<><>perceptions and confidence in the party have actually soured since its 2024 election flops,
<><>last year Democrats lost the presidency, the Senate and the House.
<><>Dem support from White men, Hispanics and working-class voters has collapsed to below 35%.
<><>The poll’s gruesome details are especially worrisome for Democrats.

They’re liars. I’m not sure they even had to lie about this. Democrats can’t stop lying. It’s the bamboozle party.

They often treat campaign funds as there own.

To them there is no difference.

That’s winning! Spending tons of RAT money furthering a cause that only 20% of the population supports. I’m comfortable with that.

Kilmar is the Democrat Party’s Capo of MS-13.

There is no other explanation.

The DNC used to rely on taxpayer-funded 'agencies' and 'NGOs'.
