Republican Rep Praises “Homogeneous” Argentina For Having “Only One Religion, One Culture, & One Race”

NBC News reports:

In a video endorsement of Javier Milei days before he was elected president of Argentina, U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar praised the country as having everything, including “only one culture, only one religion and only one race, completely homogeneous.” Argentina chose Milei, a right-wing libertarian and former television pundit who calls himself an “anarcho-capitalist,” as president over the weekend, shaking the country’s establishment.

The comment by Salazar, a Florida Republican who is of Cuban descent, appeared to refer to a perception of Argentina, including among its own citizens, as a country of white European descendants. Speaking in Spanish, Salazar said on video: “We want it to be one of the best countries in the world, because it’s what they deserve. A country that has everything. It has soy, it has meat, it has minerals, it has land, it has water, and it has only one culture, only one religion and only one race, completely homogenous.”

Salazar last appeared here in 2021 when she condemned Biden for “handing over” the international rights to COVID vaccines, thereby “undermining” US-based big pharma of their profits. Salazar missed her 2020 swearing-in as a freshman because she was ill with COVID.
