Mayor Eric Adams took an apparent swipe Tuesday at a Maryland senator who met with a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador – saying at a press conference that he would not sip a “tequila drink” with a "gang member."
“It’s time for all of us to ask the question, particularly those who are in government who find it more convenient to have a tequila drink with someone who’s a gang member: Which side are you on?” Adams said.
The statement was an apparent reference to Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who traveled to El Salvador last week to meet with a constituent who was mistakenly deported to the country. When Van Hollen met with the man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, he was photographed at a table with drinks he said were placed there by Salvadorian officials in what he called a setup.
Abrego Garcia has never been charged or convicted of any crime, including gang activity, a federal judge wrote in an opinion earlier this month..................
“Let me tell you something, I won’t have a tequila drink with a gang member. I won’t be hanging out with them and hugging them,” Adams said Tuesday.......................
= new reply since forum marked as read
The Margarita drinks were planted to set up Abrego and Senator Van Hollen. Eric Adams is pocketing payola to propogate Putin propaganda.
