Watch the moment a GOP congresswoman forgot how she voted on bills she's bragged about, but actually opposed: 'I need to ask my staff'

On Sunday, Republican Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida was asked about federal funding she's been bragging about bringing to her Miami-area district.

It didn't go so well.

In an interview with CBS Miami on Sunday, host Jim DeFede asked Salazar about her votes against three bills: an omnibus bill to fund the government for 2023, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Altogether, the bills account for roughly $3.1 trillion in government spending, some of which has benefited Salazar's district.

In one case, first reported by Business Insider, Salazar posed with a giant $650,000 check for a small business program development program that was funded by the 2023 omnibus.

But in the interview, Salazar indicated several times that she did not recall how she voted on all three of those bills.

"Right now, you have to give me more details," said Salazar, later adding: "I need to ask my staff."
