The claim that they were “sipping margaritas” was revealed to be completely staged nonsense, as apparently Bukele aids showed up with the props solely for the misleading photoshoot:

Mr. Bukele, in a social media post, even crowed that “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture,’” was “now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!” But according to a person familiar with the situation, a Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Mr. Van Hollen and Mr. Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo.

The Right are so comfortable lying that it’d be comical if it wasn’t so chilling.

      There are more kinds of bad margaritas in the Americas than are drempt of in hell. Everyone wants theirs to be unique and that is the path to ruin.

      They’re pretty clearly water glasses with salted rims and cherries jammed on the edges like an orange slice. I’ve never seen that before either.
