... Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) forcefully pushed back against President Donald Trump's deportation agenda in a campaign ad released on Thursday, a rare rebuke of the White House's aggressive immigration policy from inside the Republican Party. "Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far," she told Trump in a straight-to-camera video that is airing on television in the Miami market, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact. The criticism from Salazar, who represents a red-leaning district based in Miami-Dade County, comes with Republicans increasingly worried that concerns over the economy and the president's immigration crackdown will roll back gains the party made with Hispanic voters in the general election two years ago. ...

A member of the US House of Representatives is a........hypocrite? LOL
She's the incumbent.....what can the other candidate hit her with on this issue?
Big shocker here.......an incumbent congresswoman is running away from a policy pushed by the president in her own party.
So.....a republican says something you agree with and it pisses you off?

Lack of authenticity pisses real people off.
She's still imitating Trump: Say whatever you need to in the moment to get by.
She's still MAGA: Say whatever you need to in order to get by.
If we are to survive, much less prosper, we need to extinguish this.

I'm not sure you even know what "authentic" means.
You should reflect on what you just said there.
I'll allow you to reflect and retract.
