GOP Rep. Salazar Slams Marjorie Taylor Greene Over Criticism Of Trump's Endorsement Of Her: 'Not Telling The Truth'

Republican Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar slammed former colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene over her criticism of President Donald Trump's endorsement of her.

Greene said in a social media publication that Salazar "supports illegals more than most democrats" and called Trump's endorsement an "insult to his base." She was likely making reference to Salazar's defense of extending protected status to certain migrants, especially Venezuelans who have been in the U.S. for years after fleeing the Maduro regime.

The lawmaker reacted with a publication of her own, saying Greene is knowingly "not telling the truth."

"It's DIGNITY, not AMNESTY. I'll say it again: dignity, not amnesty, even for the people working in your own construction company. YOU said it yourself: 'We cannot be rounding up every single person and deporting them.' So which is it? I don't shift my message depending on the audience. I stay consistent. I miss our conversations in Congress," she added.

Marjorie, you’re starting to sound like Laura Loomer.Not telling the truth. And you know it.It’s DIGNITY, not AMNESTY. I’ll say it again: dignity, not amnesty, even for the people working in your own construction company.YOU said it yourself:“We cannot be rounding up every… https://t.co/n18Z4ZtWWL

Trump had said in a post that Salazar "is doing a truly fantastic job representing the wonderful people of Florida's 27th Congressional District."

"A former News Anchor and Political Reporter, María knows the Wisdom and Courage required to confront the Corrupt Fake News, which seeks to divide and destroy our Great Country. In Congress, María is working hard to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Support our Brave Military/Veterans, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. María Elvira Salazar has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" Trump added.

Salazar is one of the Florida lawmakers who has been a vocal supporter of Trump's strategy in Venezuela and Cuba. She recently urged Cubans in exile to stop sending money to the island to accelerate the regime's collapse as it teeters on the brink.

In a social media publication, the lawmaker said "Cuba's time of freedom has arrived." "We have a President and a Secretary of State who are decided to clean our hemisphere of drug dealers and dictators," she claimed.

However, she went on to say that those in exile "also have a historical responsibility," which is "stop supplying oxygen to the dictatorship." "Because every dollar, every trip and every gesture of false normality gives more life to a criminal regime and sentences the Cuban people to another 60 years of misery, repression and slavery," Salazar claimed.

"This is the moment to stop everything: no more tourism, no more remittances, no more mechanisms that continue financing and supporting the dictatorship."

And while she acknowledged it is "devastating to think about the hunger of a mother" or a "child who needs immediate help," Cubans in exile face a choice: "short-term suffering or freeing Cuba for good."

"We can't keep being hostage of a regime that even from exile forces us to finance our own oppression. In the regime's final hour, the exile has to choose: freedom," she concluded.
