Gothamist reports:
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. “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.

As has been widely reported, during the meeting Bukele’s aides placed water glasses with salted rims on the table.
Bukele then triumphantly posted photos of Van Hollen “enjoying margaritas in the tropical paradise of El Salvador.”
Multiple Republicans and prominent cultists such as Libs Of TikTok have been posting margarita-themed mockery ever since – even though they fucking know that the photo was staged.
