Republican congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, a daughter of Cuban exiles, stirred controversy after describing Argentina as a country "completely homogenous" with "a single culture, a single religion, and a single race."
In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) days before the nation's presidential runoff last Sunday, the U.S. representative for Florida's 27th congressional district voiced her support for now president-elect Javier Milei: "Argentinians face a choice between socialism and freedom, and I hope they make no mistake!," she said.
