Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, is responding sarcastically to Hillary Clinton’s allegations about his notorious Terrorism Confinement Center known as CECOT, which houses many migrants and gang members deported by President Donald Trump.
The former U.S. secretary of state posted on X an 11-minute video of the PBS Frontline documentary titled: “Surviving CECOT.”
“Curious to learn more about CECOT?” Clinton wrote. “Hear Juan, Andry, and Wilmer share firsthand how the Trump administration branded them as gang members without evidence and deported them to the brutal El Salvadoran prison.”
Bukele responded in biting fashion, saying: “Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton, If you are convinced that torture is taking place at CECOT, El Salvador is ready to cooperate fully.
“We are willing to release our entire prison population (including all gang leaders and all those described as ‘political prisoners’) to any country willing to receive them. The only condition is straightforward: it must be everyone.
“This would also greatly assist journalists and your favorite NGOs, who would then have thousands of former inmates available for interviews, making it far easier to find additional voices critical of the Salvadoran government (or willing to confirm whatever conclusions are already expected).
“Surely, if these testimonies reflect a systemic reality, a much larger pool of sources should only reinforce the claim, and many governments should be eager to offer protection.
“Until then, we will continue prioritizing the human rights of the millions of Salvadorans who today live free from gang rule.”
Gen. Mike Flynn, former national security adviser in Trump’s first term, noted: “Hillary took control of USAID when she became SECSTATE (1st time this ever occurred). Once she did, the crime spree began. We’re taking billions of U.S. taxpayer $$$’s going to her and her corrupt cronies. Maybe we do ‘invite’ her down to your prison and simply leave her in place.”
“Bukele just body slammed Hill,” said author Buzz Patterson, who formerly carried the U.S. presidential nuclear football.
Other reaction online includes:
“If Hillary despises you, you’re doing something right. You’ve smacked the globalist hornets nest. Your ideological influence has garnered a response. Keep going. Always remembering casting out one foul spirit and cleaning your house only summons more and a new trial. Prepare, and pray so you can pass it too.”
“I’m amazed how naive people are about the criminal cult MS-13 Initial rites are brutal; for women it can include sexual assault. Some cliques require ‘wet work’ (serious crimes incl. murder) for full membership. For liberals to worry about the rights of these criminals requires serious denial.”
“You don’t have to call her Secretary Clinton. Call her Will-Never-be-President Clinton instead.”
“Great reply!!! But careful Nayib, have you heard what Hillary is capable of?”
