Trump Goes on the Warpath Against GOP Congresswoman Who Attacked Him in Viral Ad — Shares Fiery Social Media Posts Calling for Her Ouster

President Donald Trump shared a fiery string of social media posts attacking Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) over a viral ad in which she accused the president of having “betrayed” Hispanic voters.

In a series of posts on Truth Social late Saturday, the president amplified criticisms of Salazar and calls for her ouster from Congress.

“We need a NEW Republican to replace Salazar,” one user wrote in a post shared by Trump.

“I guess she misread the tea leaves,” another Trump-boosted post read.

“I should have voted for the guy who primaried her,” a third Trump-shared post said.

Salazar claimed there was no ill will from the president after her ad — telling CBS’s Face the Nation last Sunday that the two subsequently had a “very good conversation.”

“He was a gentleman, very courteous, very receptive,” Salazar said.

But the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday that behind-the-scenes, Trump was frustrated with Salazar over the ad. Saturday night’s string of posts attacking the Florida congresswoman seem to confirm that reporting.

Salazar is locked in a tight battle with Democrat Elliot Rodriguez to retain her seat in a district Trump carried by roughly 15 points in 2024. Polling in the race is scant but the two major surveys conducted both show the race well within the margin of error.
