MAGA Melts Down After Republican Defies Trump With Shock Ad

Jair Coll / REUTERS Top MAGA commentators are melting down after a Florida Republican dropped a shocking advertisement calling out the president’s ICE crackdown.

Rep.

Maria Elvira Salazar, a Miami-born former Telemundo host, disavowed President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration stance, accusing him of going “too far” and betraying voters in her heavily Hispanic district that he won by 15 points in 2024.

MAGA is now dumping her and labeling her a “traitor.” “Time to replace her with a REAL conservative,” the MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman posted to his 1.7 million followers on X.

The right-wing account “End Wokeness” also chimed in, “This is a GOP Congresswoman, saying that the US is a ‘Promised Land’ for millions of illegals living here.” Salazar, 64, did not actually say that.

Instead, her advertisement called out ICE’s often inhumane policies in MAGA 2.0.

Her district is just 40 miles from the so-called Alligator Alcatraz, where migrants from the state were detained in abhorrent conditions in the middle of the Florida Everglades before it was shut down.

“I’m not talking about giving them amnesty,” she said of migrants.

“I’m talking about giving them a dignified life in this promised land.” Salazar pleaded directly with Trump to pull back on his and top White House adviser Stephen Miller’s crackdown in South Florida.

“Mr.

President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far,” Salazar’s ad begins.

“In July, 50 percent of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record.

Be careful what your advisers are telling you about immigration policy.” She continued, “The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today.

You can be for immigration what Lincoln was for slavery, and Reagan was for communism.” Salazar, who is the daughter of Cuban exiles, released a similar advertisement in Spanish.
