House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer criticized Democratic representatives for requesting taxpayer funding for a trip to El Salvador to meet an alleged MS-13 gang member. Comer described their request as absurd given their criticisms of his oversight concerning the Biden administration's immigration policies. He also cited a Democrat senator, Chris Van Hollen, who was photographed socializing with the gang member, indicating a perceived hypocrisy in their actions. Comer firmly denied any funding for the trip, urging the representatives to use their own resources instead.
It is absurd that you both displayed active hostility for over two years toward the Committee's oversight of the Biden Border Crisis and the consequences of millions of illegal aliens entering the country, yet now, you are seeking travel at Committee expense to meet with foreign gang members.
You may be pleased to know that a Democrat senator, Chris Van Hollen, was photographed just yesterday in El Salvador enjoying margaritas garnished with cherry slices with the foreign gang member your letter references.
