"Republican Congresswoman Claims Memory Loss Over Voting on Major Bills, Draws Criticism from Colleagues"
TL;DR
During a live interview, Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) struggled to explain why she voted against major bills that she later took credit for, claiming not to remember her votes and deflecting to other legislative initiatives. When confronted by CBS News Miami's Jim DeFede about voting against bills that funded projects she touted, Salazar repeatedly evaded the question and emphasized the money she brought to her constituents, ultimately failing to provide a clear explanation for her voting record.
