Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Florida’s 27th district, made several statements on March 23, 2026 via her Twitter account addressing issues related to Cuba and airport disruptions at Miami International Airport.
In a tweet posted at 17:29 UTC, Salazar criticized the portrayal of Cuba by some activist groups. She stated, “This morning on @FoxNews ’ @AmericaNewsroom , I said it clearly: Cuba has become the Disney World of communists: a staged illusion for Marxist activists and useful fools like Code Pink, while real Cubans live blackouts, hunger, and repression. They get the show. The Cuban”.
Later in the day at 18:34 UTC, Salazar addressed travel disruptions at Miami International Airport (MIA), referencing ongoing funding disputes affecting TSA operations. She wrote, “This is happening now in OUR community at @iflyMIA. My colleagues in the @GOP and I have voted multiple times to fund TSA and avoid this situation. Families are stranded. Lines are out the door. Travel plans are falling apart. TSA agents are working without pay while Democrats”.
At 19:08 UTC, Salazar again mentioned Code Pink—a peace advocacy group—accusing them of ignoring human rights abuses in Cuba while benefiting from freedoms in the United States. She tweeted, “Code Pink enjoys the freedoms and protections of this country: the right to speak, to protest, to organize, but when it comes to Cuba, they don’t want to be confused with the facts. Instead, they repeat the regime’s narrative, touring a staged reality while ignoring political”.
The situation referenced by Salazar regarding Miami International Airport follows ongoing national debates over government funding for agencies such as TSA and border security operations.
Salazar has previously voiced strong criticism of communist regimes in Latin America and has advocated for increased support for democratic movements within those countries.
