Republicans can’t afford any cracks in party unity with the midterm elections so close.
The GOP is already fighting a Democrat Party fused together by its Trump derangement.
And one RINO’s stunning act of betrayal left Trump with only one thing to say.
RINOs Attempt to Sabotage the Midterm Elections
If there is one issue that currently unites the right, it is immigration.
Conservatives broadly agree on the need for mass deportations and to limit legal immigration so as not to allow the left to replace the native American population with foreigners.
Immigration, dating back to the 2016 election, was always President Trump’s strong suit and where he polled the best in comparison to Democrats.
Republicans hoped to turn the 2026 midterm into a choice election where voters contrasted Trump’s mass deportation and secure border against the Democrat Party’s plan to flood the country with millions more illegal aliens if they win power.
Enter Florida Republican Congresswoman Maria Salazar.
Salazar released a new campaign commercial attacking Trump’s mass deportations and falsely claiming he betrayed Hispanic voters who voted for him in numbers no Republican had seen in generations.
In the video, Salazar falsely claimed Trump was arresting and deporting illegal aliens with no criminal record, an obviously untrue statement since every illegal alien who entered the country committed a crime by doing so.
“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far. In July, 50% of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record. Be careful what your advisors are telling you about immigration policy. The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today,” Salazar declared.
Congresswoman Maria Salazar Begs Trump to Pass Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
Salazar is the author of the so-called “Dignity Act,” which grants amnesty to tens of millions of illegal aliens.
The commercial showed Salazar begging Trump to sign her bill and compared Trump gifting amnesty to illegal aliens to Lincoln freeing the slaves or Ronald Reagan ending the Cold War.
“You can be for immigration what [Abraham] Lincoln was for slavery and [Ronald] Reagan was for communism. I’m not talking about giving them amnesty. I’m talking about giving them a dignified life in this promised land,” Salazar added.
Salazar’s betrayal put Trump in a bind.
Democrats are targeting Salazar’s seat, so President Trump offered a muted response in the hopes of maintaining party unity ahead of the midterms.
“I disagree with her…I’m very strong on the border, and she isn’t. I understand what she’s saying. I won because of my border. Maria won [her race] only because of me. She got a little soft on the border,” Trump told reporters during an Oval Office event.
But there should be no mistake: if Democrats win the House in November, they will team with Salazar to pass the Dignity Act in the hopes of ramming amnesty for illegal aliens and creating millions of new voters as their top priority.
