María Elvira Salazar: Latin America's dictators exploit their children just like they exploit their own people. The best example is…

Latin America's dictators exploit their children just like they exploit their own people. The best example is Nicaragua's dictator, Daniel Ortega. Ortega leads his corrupt, oppressive, dictatorial regime along with his wife and Vice President, Rosario Murillo. Their daughter, Camila Ortega, has defalcated millions and millions of dollars from the Nicaraguan people while her mother and father continue oppressing anyone who opposes them. Madam Speaker, 10 days ago, the United States Government blacklisted Camila Ortega for corruption. She is officially sanctioned. Her bank accounts are frozen. No one can do business with her at this hour. She will no longer lavishly spend the people's money in the streets of Miami, my district, where I represent thousands and thousands of the Nicaraguan exile community who fled her father's regime and his oppression. Madam Speaker, from the floor of the United States Congress, from this floor, we ask the European Union and Canada to join America in holding Camila Ortega accountable. Ortega wants to steal the elections by jailing anyone who opposes him. But make no mistake, he and his family will pay for these atrocities. ____________________

the reasoning is because Barbara Lee, who I know is a distinguished member of the Democratic Party, is friends with the oppressors and not with the Cuban people.
