GOP's Salazar Ridiculed After Claiming Credit For Projects She Voted Against
So many bills, how's a politician supposed to remember how she voted on each and every one, right? Salazar isn't the first Republican to take credit for things she voted against and she won't be the last. As long as voters let them get away with this garbage they'll keep doing it.
Also, props to Jim Defede for his persistence in dealing with this ridiculous politician.

Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) said Sunday she could not recall how she voted on two key pieces of legislation that she has since touted as victories that she brought home for her district.
In an interview on CBS News Miami, Salazar dodged repeatedly when asked about her votes against certain legislation, including the CHIPS and Science Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023.
Throughout the interview, Salazar said she did not remember how she voted, said she needed to consult her staff, and tried to redirect the conversation to focus on other bills she introduced.
The ensuing dialogue was like something out of a Saturday Night Live skit, only funnier. Things got so weird that Salazar laughed at herself, probably realizing how foolish she sounded.
