Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) continues a week of public scrutiny as the popular president of El Salvador said he was “honored” by her criticism after she and other House Democrats accused his administration of democratic backsliding.

Bukele was joined by American conservatives in denouncing her criticism, with defenders pointing to the success of his policies.
