Florida firebrand Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) has set off an international storm after her jaw-dropping appearance on Fox & Friends, taped November 30, 2025. Fresh from last week’s headline-grabbing call for the United States to storm Venezuela in a bid to secure oil riches for American corporations, Salazar is now stoking even more controversy—claiming that a military assault is just days away and promising U.S. oil giants will set up shop in Venezuela for an entire century.
During the explosive Sunday segment, even Fox & Friends hosts couldn’t believe their ears: “Did you catch that? She says invasion’s coming—within days!” they exclaimed, as Salazar painted a dramatic picture of a Trump-led takeover targeting the globe’s largest oil reserves. The Congresswoman didn’t mince words, insisting the people of Venezuela are practically begging for U.S. help to throw off President Nicolás Maduro and restore their freedom. Salazar heaped accolades on Donald Trump, crediting him for aggressive measures—from missile strikes on suspect drug boats, and sending an aircraft carrier strike force, to closing Venezuela’s skies to foreign flights without international approval.
“This is a watershed for Trump’s White House,” Salazar gushed. “He’s showing guts, breaking chains—booting out China, Iran, Russia, and the narco kings! These bold moves don’t just send a signal to other regimes; they’re the ticket to locking in America’s future security.”
But the Congresswoman’s candid comments—especially her promise of big oil profits—have sparked a tidal wave of backlash. Critics say she’s ripped the mask off Washington’s supposed anti-drug crusade and revealed a grab for black gold. Russia-controlled outlet RT wasted no time pouncing, posting, “Drooling Congresswoman just blurted the real plot!” in a stinging social media takedown.
Online personality “Shadow of Ezra,” whose account boasts more than 832,000 followers, piled on: “Rep. Maria Salazar is out here admitting the real goal—claiming America plans to seize Venezuela’s vast oil reserves and hand them to U.S. oil companies.”
Doubling down on her stance, Salazar assured skeptical viewers that seizing control would be a cakewalk, pointing out that Venezuelans had overwhelmingly voted against Maduro. She confidently predicted American dominance over Venezuelan oilfields for the next hundred years, certain that the local population would welcome foreign business with open arms. The world, meanwhile, watches on the edge of its seat as the rhetoric and drama reach fever pitch.
