X/Mike Collins

A Republican congressman bungled a post mocking a Democratic senator’s visit to El Salvador by digitally vandalizing an office plaque belonging to a Republican colleague. Georgia Rep. Mike Collins posted a photo on Friday that showed Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s name on a door plaque. In the place of the constituency was “El Salvador.”

It was a jab at Van Hollen for taking a trip to the Latin American country this week to speak with his deported constituent, 29-year-old father of three Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “Hey @ChrisVanHollen, I went ahead and changed your office plaque for you,” Collins wrote.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the image was Photoshopped, or if Collins had actually vandalized Van Hollen’s plaque, but one telling detail gave the game away.

The photo shows the plaque with Van Hollen’s name on it, but the Democrat doesn’t occupy Senate office SH-110—he’s in SH-730, according to the Senate website. The plaque that Collins vandalized actually belongs to Republican hardliner Sen. Rick Scott.
