Even Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who has emerged as a key ally of the Trump administration, weighed in on the controversy by posting a shoulder shrug emoji.
Rather than deleting the post, Frost simply responded to the controversy by saying, "Never thought Max P lyrics I tweeted at 19 would get so much attention from MAGA."
Frost also tweeted out "I’ve only ever been in one gang" with an image of him in his high school band.
Frost kept going, tweeting again on Tuesday, "Keep looking through my old posts. There has to be some more funny stuff in there. Make sure you tag me."

Frost was one of five Democratic lawmakers who visited El Salvador last week to advocate for the release and return of Abrego Garcia from the Salvadoran mega prison known as the "Terrorist Confinement Center" (CECOT).
Posting on X from El Salvador, the congressman accused President Donald Trump of "illegally arresting, jailing, & deporting people with no due process."
