Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Florida’s 27th district, recently used her Twitter account to comment on topics ranging from international affairs to American political achievements.
On December 11, 2025, Salazar posted about Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, stating: “Otro recordatorio más de quién es realmente Maduro: un dictador cruel e ilegítimo que se mantiene en el poder mediante la tortura, la intimidación y el miedo.
No se trata de “incidentes aislados”. Este es el modelo de Maduro: reprimir, abusar y aferrarse al poder a cualquier https://t.co/0VkR1T8Ao8“.
The following day, December 12, 2025, Salazar congratulated Susie Wiles for her recognition by Forbes magazine: “Huge congrats to Susie Wiles for being named to Forbes’ World’s Most Powerful Women 2025!
A true trailblazer in politics: first woman to serve as White House Chief of Staff, veteran strategist who cut her teeth in Washington in the ’70s, helping everyone from Reagan to Trump https://t.co/ukp51JCT4v“.
Later that same day, she commented on U.S. defense policy and global leadership: “This National Defense Policy gets it right: stronger Western Hemisphere authorities, real pushback against China and Russia, and ambassadors in strategic regions like the Arctic.
America must lead and confront tyranny wherever it exists.”
Nicolás Maduro has faced ongoing criticism from U.S. officials and international human rights organizations for his government’s actions regarding political repression and alleged human rights abuses. In recent years, Venezuela has experienced significant political turmoil under his leadership.
Susie Wiles was recognized by Forbes as one of the World’s Most Powerful Women in 2025 after becoming the first woman to serve as White House Chief of Staff and having an extensive career advising prominent Republican figures since the 1970s.
U.S. national defense policies have increasingly emphasized countering influence from countries such as China and Russia while strengthening diplomatic efforts in strategically important regions like the Arctic.
