Trump turns on Rep. Salazar following report Miami Republicans

So Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar filmed an ad outside the White House criticizing the Trump administration's immigration enforcement. Now she's finding out what happens when you take a shot at the president's border policy. Trump turned on her Saturday, and honestly, the surprise is that it took this long.

Salazar's race in Miami tightened, so she clearly felt the need to put distance. But there's a difference between local messaging and publicly attacking the administration's toughest line. The ad wasn't subtle. It was a gift to Democrats who want to paint ICE and border agents as the bad guys. Trump gave her room earlier, but when a Republican uses the president's own doorstep to undercut his signature issue, the response writes itself.

Loyalty goes both ways. If you want Trump's support, you don't ambush his policy on camera. Border security is not a wedge issue to finesse. South Florida Republicans know that. They sent Salazar to Congress to back the administration, not to audition for a CNN hit.

Salazar made her choice. Now she has to live with the political reality. Trump doesn't forget, and Republican voters don't either. She can still fix this by aligning with the party's agenda, but the ad will follow her. In a tight race, that's a heavier anchor than she thinks.
