Like a lot of Cuban Americans, María Elvira Salazar has a visceral revulsion to even the slightest whiff of communism, as a result of her family fleeing when Fidel Castro came to power.
Unlike a lot of Cuban Americans, Salazar got to confront Castro in person, interviewing him in 1995. “You meet the devil in person,” she said.
That was just one of the world leaders Salazar interviewed during her decadeslong career as a TV journalist for Spanish-language outlets like Univision, Telemundo and CNN en Español.
