Thumbs up to torture?
Our religious congressman visits the El Salvador prison
If you follow West Virgina’s District 2 congressman, Riley Moore, on X (formerly Twitter), you’re probably aware of how frequently he proclaims his religion beliefs. For example, from last Sunday:
“They proclaimed: Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.”

Blessed Palm Sunday to all! pic.twitter.com/LRcfzQuZaS
Additionally, you’ll also see how he follows the teachings of that religion. Yesterday, for instance:
I just toured the CECOT prison in El Salvador. This maximum security facility houses the country’s most brutal criminals, including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and terrorists. Several inmates were extremely violent criminals recently deported from the U.S.

Yes, Moore is giving a smiling thumbs-up to torture five days before Easter.
