Hillary Clinton Slammed By El Salvador’s President Over 60 Minutes Prison Comments

Hillary Clinton’s latest attempt to stay politically relevant backfired spectacularly this week after she took a swipe at El Salvador’s high-security prison system and received a blistering response from Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who wasn't having it.

It all started when Clinton jumped into the media controversy surrounding CBS News' decision to pull a “60 Minutes” segment on El Salvador’s Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) the country’s supermax prison built to house thousands of violent gang members, including top leaders of MS-13 and other terrorist networks that plagued the country for decades.

Clinton, in her typical fashion, seized the opportunity to blame President Trump by sharing a PBS video of three Venezuelan men claiming they had been deported to El Salvador without evidence. “Curious to learn more about CECOT?” she posted. “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.”

But Bukele, who has gained global attention for restoring law and order in El Salvador and turning the country from a crime-ridden nightmare into one of Latin America's safest nations, responded with a brutal dose of reality and sarcasm.

“Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton, If you are convinced that torture is taking place at CECOT, El Salvador is ready to cooperate fully,” Bukele wrote. “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.”

In other words, he dared her to take them.

Bukele even offered a practical benefit to Clinton’s activist media friends and NGOs, noting they would then have “thousands of former inmates available for interviews” to support whatever narrative they were trying to spin. The only requirement? That Clinton and other critics put their own countries on the line if they were truly so concerned.

“Until then,” Bukele concluded, “we will continue prioritizing the human rights of the millions of Salvadorans who today live free from gang rule.”

That’s a line the Clinton camp and her media allies won’t touch. Because while they’re busy wringing their hands about the “rights” of hardened gang members, Bukele is focused on protecting everyday citizens who were living under the terror of cartels and street executions before his administration took over.

Let’s not forget who helped create the MS-13 nightmare in the first place. Bill Clinton’s administration deported thousands of gang members many of whom formed their violent groups in Los Angeles back to El Salvador, a country still trying to recover from civil war. The result? A gang epidemic that festered in the power vacuum.

And now Hillary Clinton wants to lecture El Salvador for taking bold, unapologetic action to clean it up?

In the U.S., Democrats defend sanctuary cities and soften penalties for criminals, all while criticizing foreign leaders like Bukele for doing what their own cities won’t: protect law-abiding citizens.

Under President Trump, criminal illegals were deported, not shielded. That’s a policy most Americans supported then and support now. But Clinton, as usual, sides with the narrative of the Left: protect criminals, attack borders, and criticize anyone who stands in the way.

President Bukele’s response wasn't just a burn it was a masterclass in exposing progressive hypocrisy. And in a world where weak leaders abound, it’s no wonder millions admire his unapologetic leadership.
