Maria Elveria Salazar must be voted out. She keeps taking credit for bills she voted against.
We have a republican in my district, hypocrite touting projects that he voted against, problem is people are so stupid that they don’t do question it.
That’s the republican way. Shameful
She doesn't give a crap about the people who elected her. Standard Republican.
Her name is Salazar... like Salazar Slytherin lol. Kinda fits.
That is the Republicans way. A bunch of boldface lying opportunists snake. Trump claim currently stock market uptrend because of him. When is down they blame everyone else.
She didn't bring that money to the district.. She's an unqualified hypocrite & fraud!
She did bring it, but like a courier. Maybe next time they could just direct deposit it wherever it needs to go.
If you voted against money that came into your district for valuable, positive public works, then why should your constituents support your reelection? Your constituents' interests would be better served by a representative who doesn't hinder bills that improve their lives. And certainly not by a rep who is so blatantly party-first to the detriment of her district. We need politicians who can negotiate in good faith, and compromise, instead of hold a party line regardless of a bill's benefits to the populace.
EXACTLY
Jim DeFede is wrong. Salazar voted against the Chips act, but voted FOR the Consolidated Appropriation act of 2023. The CAA23, did not have the Chips act included in it. The funding Jim is referring to that she presented, is in the CAA23 bill.
@@BigMoPrepperFor Christ sake you could not be more wrong. Nice try at playing spin doctor. If there was credit to be taken it would have been at this point here in the interview. Her laps of memory tells you all you need to know. Do you actually believe this woman is that stupid? Because that is what your best defense for her is, out right stupidity.
She’s using the Trump playbook! Vote against it, yet take credit for it once it happens…I’m so sick and tired of these hypocrites!!
Couldn't agree with you more @TrishLan93!!!
It's a game for them - Republicans are in it for themselves, not the American people - why on Earth would someone vote for them? ... just because their parents always did?
Same thing happening with the boarder stuff, they vote against anything Biden wants to do to fix it. They do this all the time. They stop things from going through then blame the left for the problem. The Right is too stupid to even know what the hell is going on.
Facts!!!
Wow...I was about point out the same thing. She even has some of his mannerisms
If you voted against, you didn't brought the money, PERIOD!
He does a better job than most hosts at pushing back
Hadn't heard of him, but I applaud him!
Her supporters are probably not even listening.
@@touchstar68deaf ears for sure
@@touchstar68But hopefully people who didn't vote before are.
🙏💙💙💙💙
True, and credit to him. This despicable partisan hack and hypocrite keeps trying to deny any memory of major legislation that she voted against and shift to the "positive" of money that SHE is bringing to the district, again spinning it as something she deserves praise for. And then she has the gall to claim "I'm not trying to be a politician" when that is exactly what she's doing--acting like the worst kind of politician, the shifty fraudster who lies and can't be pinned down on reality.
They really don't feel any shame, it's unbelievable!
Their confidence and arrogance comes from the ignorance and gullibility of their voters. Today, they simply tell their voters what to feel and do. And their voters fall right in line.
Oh yes she does, she was caught out and now her constituents are hearing the Truth. Let's hope they have on their listening ears!
None of them do.
Smug and conceited hypocrisy
when you have no morals you have no shame. just shows who these clowns really are.
They are sickening. More journalists need to call them out!!
A certain news network has -- or rather certain news networks -- have left the chat.
They do. I’ve seen it a lot. The problem is Republicans don’t care about the truth. Look at Trump as the best example. He has been called out in and out of court. Facts are known about his wicked ways. They don’t care. They’ll still support him.
Those aren't news though.@@k31than
Love this journalist. More like him. Great job!
NO! It not the "journalists job!" Citizens duties ! to comprehend and vote appropriately.
"Listen, that was last cycle" Dear Lord, she is such a LIAR!
😂
Lying is a MAGA requirement.
Take credit for the successes, take no responsibility for the failures. That's the Trump cultist playbook.
Trump's already out there saying the stock market is booming because they think he will be president again
And his cult believes it
yup
trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/
Never play defense
Boom.
If she can't remember stuff then the GOP should stop poking fun at Biden's memory. She's probably half Biden's age and apparently is already senile.
She can remember, she’s just a liar.
Yes! Super like Your comment! Hecka-Hawesome!
Great point!
Exactly
👏👏👏
Good for him!! There aren’t enough prepared to call them out. BS she doesn’t remember a bill she voted against. Why would she have to ask her staff how she voted?!
If she genuinely can't remember, she should be put on Trump's list for politicians to get cognitive tests.
She cant remember which ones she got kick backs for?
That's almost like admitting she's getting paid to do the work, but makes her staff actually do everything and she just says yay or nay as the corporations tell her to do.
To be fair, she probably actually can't remember the bills they don't vote for. They never read the bills, even the ones they help draw up, and will vote No on it, simply because any Democrat is in favor of it, out of habit.
It was so gross to hear her say, “aren’t you proud?” Over and over when she couldn’t answer
It’s called being a MAGA Republican.
She doesn’t appear humiliated at all .. looks very proud of herself. "Brazen, opportunistic hypocrite" ..well said.
Oh she’s embarrassed, she could barely look at him.
Especially after repeatedly yelling “Aren’t you proud?! Aren’t you proud?!...” at him across the table, without Mr. DeFedes taking the bait.
She does not appear to be used to defending her actions or voting record, neither of which are very exemplary.
She'll be re-elected by pointing to the money she brought to the district. People are not informed enough to know the facts; only the party.
Agreed, can we finally get over the "humiliated" craze of the 2010s?
Sounds like evil eishful thinking, like david pakman really wished the woman was humilated....when in actuality she was ignorantly brazen.
All around a disgusting situation, including the implication that "a woman was humiliated"
She literally tried to change the subject when he didn't, she tried shouting above him. Typical republican strategy
She didn't bring the 40 million.
The Democrats brought the 40 million...
wouldnt the most successful cuckservative politicians be the ones bringing ZERO money to their district?
And she took it and tried to run to her district with it
...but aren't you proud of her?
@@Lethe626That alone was the biggest red flag that she’s a politician for anything BUT appropriate representation of her constituents.
ARENT YOU PROUD OF ME!?? LOOK HOW GOOD IM DOING!!! NOTICE MEEEEEEEEE
This woman has ZERO SHAME.
That's politicians. And ridicule never ruins their careers.
typical of the maga republicans
It's Republicanism. It's a mental disorder.
None of them do!
Deny and deflect…. Straight out of the Republican playbook 🤦🏻
She is embarrassing. Thank you Jim DeFede for calling her out.
Now vote her and all Repubs OUT for at least 10 years to clean out Congress.
“I can’t remember how I voted because I don’t think about what I’m doing.” - said just about any lying Republican.
that statement alone should disqualify her from holding public office.
I do what I’m told.
If she really can’t remember her votes in the last session of Congress, she deserves to be voted out. If she remembers but is lying, she deserves to be voted out. She is a disgrace and is failing her constituents.
Whats even more arrogant is that she should know that "oh I cant recall" dosent work on Congressional votes as they are easily accessible public records. Any reporter worth their salt can look up EVERY vote taken by ANY member of Congress pretty much since the early 1800's and some from even earlier. "I dont recall my vote" isnt good enough and is a obvious cop out.
They mock Biden's memory but she is doing worse at half his age
Now if we could just get a significant number of those to care...
If she forgets voting on such big acts, maybe she needs to take a cognitive test.
She needs to check with her staff so that they can tell her which way they told her to vote. No way she actually read the bill.
You know, just ONCE I'd like to hear these hypocrites say, publicly, "Yes. I voted against the bill because I felt that it wan an unnecessary burden to an already bloated National Debt but, since the bill passed anyway, why not disburse the funds to my constituents? I mean, the money was approved, its there and if I don;t use it then my constituents suffer."
But noooooo, they all divert, lie, change the subject, divert, avoid a direct and truthful answer just to try and save face?
Crazy!
I have to agree. An answer like that would do a lot to diffuse the discomfort and ludicrous nature of the situation for the shameless who find themselves so squarely in the crosshairs. Hell, it might even approach being an honest answer.
This is a horrid, horrid bill for two reasons. First, government pork is never, ever successful at building a competitive industry. Making a sustainable, competitive business vs. getting government funding are two completely unrelated goals, and doing the latter will not magically produce the former. I say that as a person who has worked on projects funded by similar bills.
Second, the government is AT THE SAME TIME telling companies in this industry that they can't sell products to China. This is causing an enormous wellspring of local competitors in China. As an example, USA used to have pretty much 100% market share in EDA tools. The big three vendors Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor (now bought by Siemens) were all US companies. But now, US government limits their business in China. So what happens? Exactly what any person with a brain would expect. Chinese companies jump in to fill the void. That 100% market share will be completely destroyed in 10 years. And they've done this to MANY sectors of the semiconductor industry.
The way to keep technology leadership is to SELL THINGS and make it impractical for customers to develop similar technology themselves. Politicians aren't from this industry, and don't know this very elementary fact. So they are destroying US leadership in this industry with their bumbling stupidity.
@markdavis7397 the government that funded the fundamental research that created the tcpip protocol that enabled that comment says "you're welcome". That same government that was the primary funder of integrated circuit manufacturing through the US military, which lead to Fairchild semiconductor, Intel etc says "you're welcome " also. And if keeping the totalitarian CCP's hands off US corporate intellectual property bothers you, move to Guangzhou.
You mean, offer an honest and responsible answer!?
If politicians responded like this, we’d actually get something done. It’s completely okay to have been wrong about a vote, or to use resources that were given you, etc. Being part of government, I assume you need to compromise when you lose as much as share in the wins.
But It’s stupid and slimey to vote against, then pretend you voted for. “Oh, I did all this”, while literally resisting “this” the whole way is turbo dumb.
@@arthurswanson3285 OK, those are good points. You could point to NASA as coming up with some key technologies also. However, I think those are quite different cases. In those cases, companies were asked to create a technology to solve a specific problem. They government was like a customer. Later, those found commercial applications. I suppose that can work, and has worked sometimes. But that’s different from “we want to be competitive in industry X, so let’s throw money at it.” That's not a specific product that is needed for a specific purpose. That kind of program has been comically unsuccessful many, many times.
Also, it seems to me that 99% of people on board with a simplistic one-liner like your “keep CCP hands of US Intellectual Property”. But I would encourage you to think through it a little more deeply. For example, 20 years ago Chinese SW engineers were rapidly changing their SW design practices to *decrease* use of pirated code from US companies. The reason was, everybody doing any kind of M&A would insist on a Blackduck scan, and so people were beginning to realize that piracy “poisoned” their company value. Since the “cold war” with China, that situation has reversed noticeably. Chinese SW engineers figure they won’t be doing business with the West anyway, so why bother staying clean?
So let me ask you, which situation is “keeping CCP hands off US Intellectual Property?”
Anyway, this whole situation just makes me sad. 20 years ago everybody got along much better, and this was much better for both national security and business. China was actually getting closer to harmonizing with the West on many practices. Trump blew that out of the water, which is unsurprising since his main guiding principle is racism. But I have been deeply disappointed by the way Democrats jumped on the “yellow-man evil” bandwagon. It is splitting the world in two, and will create insecurity and poverty. For what? So people can gorge themselves on tribal chest-thumping? Silly me, I like peace and prosperity.
Hypocrisy and Republicans; name a more iconic duo.
Donald Trump and felony indictments?
MAGA cultists and illiteracy
Alina Habba and incompetence.
Florida and "wtf is going on here?"
Maga and court dates
Jim, great job for calling out the GOP hypocrites.
She has an iron clad excuse, "I have no idea what I voted for or against!".
Outstanding Republican logic!!!!
So stealing that! LOL
She probably didn't even read it.
This is antisemitic
Why does she think it's better that she can't remember the laws she voted on lol
They use the same excuses every time they're confronted about taking credit for a bill they voted and campaigned against.
He should have said "The $40 million is in SPITE of you, not because of you."
Keep calling out their lies! 🤥

If she's havin' such trouble remembering something as simple as whether she voted yes or no, she oughta go see a doctor.
Brain transplant!!
It's cringe to watch her fumble over herself and utter nothing-burgers in the hopes that the interviewer will move on. Props to the guy for pressing her on her hypocrisy.
When repeatedly yelling “Aren’t you proud? Aren’t you proud?...” at him did not work on Mr. DeFede like she thought it does on everybody, she was lost.
Just like Texas does, always vote against disaster funds for other states, but is first ones begging for it when a disaster happens in Texas
"I have to ask my staff about how I voted." She’s pathetic.
Exactly!
She's learned 'pathetic' well. From the top, down! 😮
They need to call them all out in every state!!
This is so embarrassing for her.
They don’t feel shame!
Could not have happened to a nicer girl. What a fing shrew.
She squirms as she tries to extricate herself from this uncomfortable confrontation with reality. What a deplorable R swamp freak.
She don't care. It's embarrassing for the bozos voting for her though.
Can someone please point out the timestamp in this video where she felt shame? ‘Cause I’m not seeing it.
I’m not trying to be a politician…. what a flat out liar….
Way to go Jim DeFede. The truth is great.
I must remember his name. Great job!
Yep. I think him and Mehdi Hasan should do a show together. I'd watch it for sure. There are very few anchors from Corporate news that I respect.
Jim DeFede is wrong. Salazar voted against the Chips act, but voted FOR the Consolidated Appropriation act of 2023. The CAA23, did not have the Chips act included in it. The funding Jim is referring to that she presented, is in the CAA23 bill.
@@BigMoPreppersource? Page number and specific name of the legislation would suffice.
@@BigMoPrepper He is not wrong, he had all evidence with him.
This video demonstrates not how badly she handles this situation but how seldom you have real journalists on television. If this was the norm and not the exception, Congresspeople would have a much harder time selling their grift.
That was priceless 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so humiliating. When are the republicans going to learn enough is enough !!!!
trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/trump-administration-accomplishments/
Investigative journalism is sorely missed!! Way to hold her accountable!
She keeps saying SHE brought the money, when the Democrats are the ones who gave her that money.
Take note MSNBC, CNN and other news outlets. That's how you do it! Thanks Jim!
Fox news also.
Well said! Real journalism is on life support in the US!
Right!!
There is no shame. These people should be embarrassed... but they're not. They're fools, but too corrupt to care.
Fantastic interview. This is how the hypocrites should be dealt with. The Dems should run an ad campaign in each constituency showing what money Biden policies made available and who voted against it...
Shame on the people in Miami that voted for her.
I agree. I didn't vote for her.
People in Miami are just odd. Always voting against their own interests. As long as the person running says they're against the Cuban government.
@@kennethloki7011 As a Cuban that used to live in Miami, this is it. This is the only thing they care about.
People in Florida aren’t smart
Hispanic people.
Who forgets handing anyone a $650,000 check ?
Great point.. Even the richest people won’t forget that
I’m sure she conveniently forgets when a special interest hands her a check like that… or her re-election campaign. If she’s a true Republican, then she uses that campaign finance money like a big piggy bank, ala Drumpf and Santos. Or maybe she takes gold bricks like Bob Menendez. I’m a dyed in the wool Dem, but just sayin’ that scumbags also come in blue, folks. Gotta keep them ALL in line, not just the obvious red ones. That’s what democracy is about, not just bashing the other side.
@@smoothkk1depends. Even some of them are dickheads with that much money lol. The raw amount means nothing to them only the fact that it’s chump change
This journalist needs to be brought on for his work.
I would love to see him on this show
69th like 😎
So many American journalists allow politicians to squirm out of answering a question. Glad to see this journalist doing his job. This is the standard thar journalists use in Europe and Australia.
Great idea! 🎉
My thoughts exactly - he did a phenomenal job pushing back repeatedly
I guarantee she is Cuban as the Cubans vote republican. They don't know the difference between dictatorship and Socialism.
Neither do any Republicans
Irony being - Most of our Mexican brothers and Sisters are Catholic and Pro Life.
But the Republican party has vilified them for decades.
Am I being silly in thinking the kinds of Cubans who fled Castro were the landowners
Maybe that’s because Cubans are affiliated with Russia ?
@@bob_bobsenno, all the emigrants to florida from Cuba had money. They were avoiding wealth taxes
I think if your elected official votes against a bill that brings money to districts, the district should not benefit from the funding. See how long their terms last when that happens.
Hopefully this is a much better way, there are innocents in that community who didn't vote for her, so hopefully they will remind those who did "Democrats" made that deal, and news guys like David keep posting these clips.
Withholding money from these districts only serves to support the GOP stance that their district is being treated unfairly. Best to just keep calling them out on their perfidy.
Or maybe don’t withhold it, but definitely put up billboards announcing that the congressperson voted no. With their picture.
I concur.
yup.... Then apportion that money evenly towards those states/districts whose reps voted for it.
That's the difference. I was at a press event recently with a D congressman in which grant funds were being awarded to rebuild two fire stations. He reiterated in his speech that even though he was handing over a check, the funds were provided by every citizen and not by Congress.
This lady acted like she was personally giving them money..makes me sick.
Bravo Jim! Excellent interviewer. Just wow!
Mainstream reporters take note!!
I use to have a co-worker just like her . Taking credit for everything when things go right but won't take any blame when things go wrong . Everyone hated him .
Thank you for giving this man a shout out David. All reporters should be doing this every time. If democracy is at stake then make each interview count!
“Are you a human”
“Ill have to ask my staffers”
More journalists need to be like Jim DeFede and call these hypocrites out!
Bro it's pronounced DeFede nor DeFede
You're both wrong, it's the feet eh?@@Expired.Lettuce
Well he can kiss his chances goodbye to being considered for a spot on Fox( fake)News!
@@Expired.Lettuce Lmao!
Elmer DeFudd is smart enough to call out a MAGAt
Thats a gotcha moment - she cant get out of it. Naming her an oppertunitistic hypocrite is spot on.
You wouldn’t bring the 40 million if democrat didn’t voted for it.
If she didn’t vote for the bill that the money was granted through, isn’t she lying when she says, “I brought $40M to my district “?
Yes, I'm glad somebody else caught that too showing her that she's a double hypocrite
she lyin On Top of her denial 😂
Yes she's lying, and not just typical political bet hedging, but flat out lying liar lies
@@bubbawilliamsit's the only thing republicans have left. Straight up lying.
“But, let’s look at the positive… aren’t you proud of me?” What a horrible woman.
This reporter was amazing. Excellent job of making her accountable for taking credit where she doesn't deserve it. Thank Joe Biden, not her. When she presented these checks did she thank Joe Biden and the Republicans who did vote for it since she didn't believe her community should get this money? I think not.
To solve this issue.... If you vote against something that brings money into your county, then the money should not go to your county.
Typical republican. Taking credit for something they voted against.
NO! Voters allowing this is un Democratic.
@@georgedunkelberg5004 honey you are the prime example of the quote “it’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled” - Mark Twain…
You can easily go on the government website and look at what politicians are voting for and against.
But you won’t do that because you want to believe the lies they tell because you feel like they are in the right😮💨
This is why trump said he loves uneducated people… because they are easy to fool… this is people like DeSantis are removing books like the dictionary from schools…
To breed more ignorant people who will blindly follow and support without question.
Now sit with what I’ve said. I will not be replying back to you because you really are not worth arguing with.

The nerve. Glad he caught her off guard.
"I'm not trying to be a politician"?? Lady, 😊you are the epitome of an opportunistic politician
Watching a Republican get called out on a lie, just to watch them pray to end the interview is journalism gold.
It's called journalism.
Keep it alive!!
I recall a time when nobody would have dared to take credit for something they voted against because every news outlet would lambast them.
And that is why ShiTrump sees journalists/truth as his enemy.
This is why republicans have been railing against journalists for 10 years, how they call “main stream media” fake news nonstop.
They shouldn’t be allowed to even run for office.
That lady represents my district, she hasn’t done crappola!
Shouldn’t keep her
then you and all the other voters in your district/state should do something about it
Taking credit in the district for spending they opposed and voted against has been in the Republican playbook for a very long time.
The Republicans are great at this, vote against the bill, yet take the money. Then take credit, and tell your voters what a wonderful job you did. What a bunch of two-face individuals.

She needs to ask her staff about how she does her job? These people are truly deplorable and completely self interested.
It's pronounced "Deh-FEE-dee" and he's been a great journalist in Miami for a long time. I'm glad you're exposing that fraud Rep. Salazar.
THANK-YOU! His name is his reputation. Publicly correct pronunciations, are this citizens accolades for integrity.
That's not a correct pronunciation, but I accept that that is how he pronounces it
@Macc_spice Thank God you're here!
No doubt he will change his name to what you consider the correct pronunciation.
Imagine having the arrogance to claim to know better how someone should pronounce their own family name.
@@jeeves6490 many people mispronounce their names, correct. For example this guy should be pronouncing his last name deh-FEH-deh, per the correct Italian pronunciation. Those are the facts, I'm not really interested in your emotions on the subject, sorry!
@@Macc_spice Interestingly enough, I have no interest in your opinion of another person's pronunciation of their own name.
Words change as they leave their place of origin, names are no different, and family names are completely at the whim of the individual bearing them.
Jim Defede (pronounced 'defeedee') is the man.. highly underrated old school journalist down here in S. Florida. Way to go Jim!
Thanks for the pronunciation guide. I love this guy.
If she needs to ask her staff how she voted she needs to go
My follow up for her when she hems and haws over whether she voted for the CHIPS and Science Act would be, "So you don't know what you do or don't vote for? Isn't that very specifically your job? But you don't remember doing your job? So what _are_ you doing if you can't even remember doing your job? You had one job. Do you even legislate bro?"
It's always so satisfying to see the media actually call out these corrupt politicians.
How about calling out lying on both sides.
@jamesharvey7697 yeah, distract from this behaviour with typical Trumpist whataboutism. Typical
Mr. DeFede deserves an award!
More Jim DeFede, please!! We need more passionate journalists like him.
Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) and Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi) literally did the exact same thing.. its truly disgusting...
This is what you call being put on blast.
Maria Elvira Salazar was a good journalist on Univision and Telemundo. She knew when she ran for office she’d be challenged by the media having been a member of the media. Now she creaking out over tough questions and you can't claim something you didn't do.
Yeah, Maria Elvira Salazar has been seduced by the MAGA buffoonery endorsed by the Cuban American political patronage in Miami.
I don't get what's with some Hispanics wanting to be apart of the same party that wants them all gone 😂
@@asole100 Cubans are the “chosen” migrants for those MAGA Republicans.
Jim is a legend now.
This should have been done by every journalist since Reagan. They've been doing it since then.
Reagan. His bs was only outdone by trumps.
I live in Miami Jim does these and many other topics affecting South Florida for a local CBS feed, Jim is a beast good for him for shining light and good for us the people who listen, rock on Jim
She was not only a horrible journalist she is a dangerous politician.
How can you be a real journalist if you didn't ask real questions and demand real answers?
This is a real journalism at it's best!
He did his research ahead of time and knew when she lied.
They need to play this as an ad nationwide against ALL the GOP
But they won’t. It feels like Democrats like to lose elections despite there being so many stories like this. If republicans are good at anything, it’s smear campaigns and it is so effective. Democrats could take a page out of their book when it comes to dragging their opponents through the mud instead of taking the high road over and over. It doesn’t work when your opponent only intends to fight dirty.
Fully agree. Pull the gloves off.
We all need to share this!!
If she had genuine intentions, the easy answer would be "I made a mistake, and I was wrong"
Rep. JIM Stauber, R, MN, voted against the infrastructure bill, but he basked in the announcement of the Bong Bridge replacement to the tune of 1.8 billion.. He certainly got called out for his behavior.
He’s doing what other American journalists don’t do. He’s calling them out
Thank you for PUSHING BACK in her face! Don’t let her side step, confront her up front!
It’s like carrying a present into a birthday party that somebody else bought.🎁😂
The journalist didn't humiliate her. An investigative journalist does just that, investigates. He already had his foundation information, he put it to her, he followed up, engaged with the interviewed, and kept putting his points forward. Her humiliation came as a result of her hypocrisy. She thought that nobody would notice or call her out. This is the way to interview congressional Republicans and force them to be adults with great responsibility.
The information wasn't hard to find.
Much respects to journalist Jim DeFede for not backing down from corrupt Maria Elveria Salazar. THANK YOU!
Take credit for everything as they are all delusional!!!
Democrats gave her district that money.
"Give me credit for something I didn't do"
Shameless.
See that is REAL journalism too! We need more people like that.
You can keep repeating the $40 million that I brought here as many times as you want but when you voted against every single thing that brought that $40 million there you didn't bring anything
Don't these people understand that their votes are a matter of public record?
Vote 💙💙
Just shows were partisan politics has gotten us, An objectively good piece of legislation did good things and they can't even acknowledge it
Even more funny how Trump cultists slam their Dear Leader's greatest accomplishment in office....the rapid development and distribution of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. Trump can't even take credit for it or his cultists turn on him. Hilarious!
