Trump shares report on backlash against Republican María Elvira Salazar

On 26 September, Trump shared a link to a Washington Post report about the backlash facing Salazar. [1]

Salazar, a Florida Republican, had said in a campaign video that some of Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts had gone too far. She warned that his advisers were giving him bad advice and that his approach risked weakening Republican support among Latino voters. Trump rebuked her, saying she would not have been elected without his endorsement. [2]

The objections to Salazar have come from different directions. The Washington Post interviewed a former Salazar voter who said he would no longer support her because she challenged Trump, as well as people who agreed with her warning but thought she should have spoken up earlier. [2] Salazar told CBS News on 20 September that she had since spoken to Trump, describing him as courteous and receptive. She said she was offering advice, not attacking him. [3]
