GOP Rep. Busted For Taking Credit
For Bills She Voted Against
Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.) on
Sunday got called out for
routinely taking credit for
delivering money to her district —
after opposing the bills that
provided that money.
During an interview on CBS News
Miami, host Jim DeFede asked
Salazar about a ceremony she
attended last month where she
presented a check for $650,000
to help small businesses at
Florida International University.
“You voted against the bill that
gave the money that you then
signed a check for and handed and
had a photo op,” said DeFede, the
host of CBS’s show “Facing South
Florida.” “The Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2023, right?”
She did vote against that $1.7
trillion government funding bill.
It was a massive and memorable
bill that almost every House
Republican opposed.
Salazar said she couldn’t
remember that vote.
