The 80-year-old president appeared to be responding to a video Salazar released earlier this month criticizing his approach. He amplified user posts rather than writing fresh commentary, reposting messages that attacked her directly.
One post Trump shared read, "Primary her in two years and see how she likes to keep criticising Trump then." Another called for "a NEW Republican to replace Salazar." A third post went further, calling her "nothing but a back stabber" while praising steady Latino support for Trump elsewhere.
Salazar represents a district with a large Latino population, and her break from Trump on immigration puts her at odds with a president who endorsed her. The posting spree signals Trump wants her gone from Congress rather than simply disagreeing on policy. For Salazar, the pressure now comes from the top of her own party, not just Democrats, and it raises the stakes for anyone in the GOP willing to publicly push back on immigration enforcement.
A spokesperson had not yet responded to the barrage by the time it was reported.
