Trump Goes on the Warpath Against GOP Congresswoman Who Attacked Him in Viral Ad — Shares Fiery Social Media Posts Calling for Her Ouster
Mediaite ^ | September 27, 2026 | Joe DePaolo

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.

Last week I was reading comments here defending a vote for Susan Collins because she is need to preserve a Republican senate majority. (Up until recently, all I've heard for years is "RINO! RINO! RINO!")

Here we are, five weeks from the midterms, and President Trump is focusing his media platform attacking a congresswoman (who happens to represent me.) Salazar has gone from a strong position in the district to probably an underdog.

Since it's way past time to primary her, what is the strategic good? Florida Republicans are feeling stress as blacks and latinos are shifting away, and the best we can do is kick marginal seats to the Democrats? If you don't like Salazar, wait till you get a load of soon-to-be (maybe) Congressman Elliot Rodriguez. Instead of a representative who stands with the party 95% of the time, you'll get one who stands against it 100% of the time.

She is placing her bets.

maybe good strategy. she attracts some of the dem voters, but carries those that support Trump, she is the republican candidate.

Suzi Wiles has her hands full trying to control his unhelpful TS posts.

This is what you get with someone who has been his own man all his life - the good and the not so good.

Rodriguez is well entrenched. I don’t think he’ll lose a single vote. She need to firm up turnout, and this bashing doesn’t help. I’ll be phonebanking for her starting next weekend.

It’s 100% clear, that Trump wants to lose the Congress. I think he likes the game of having a minority Congress. oh well. I guess he’ll have to deal with it.

She’s not scoring with her amnesty goals nor her attacks on President Trump and the policies of this administration. That’s two strikes.

A racist Hispanic woman wants more of her own people in America. Not really shocking

Nope. She’s going to backtrack her position, until she is reelected. Then it’s back to the amnesty push! Maybe the voters will ditch her next time around.

When the French sent boat loads of illegals the Brits killed them later when the Germans flew them in the Brits killed them too.

But now the Brits are trying to stop illegals with free stuff.

“It’s 100% clear, that Trump wants to lose the Congress.”

I don’t know about that, but it is abundantly clear that he is going to lose it.

Problem is: if that happens then America loses too.
