Diaz-Balart, Salazar, Gimenez Statement on the Purchase of Radio Mambi

Press Release

Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-25), Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27), and Carlos A. Gimenez (FL-26) issued the following statement on the recent purchase of Radio Mambi by left-wing investors.

"For years, an increasingly radical left has sought to silence conservative Hispanic voices in South Florida. Regrettably, the purchase of Radio Mambí by left-wing investors seems to be part of a long-term plan. Radio Mambí became a legendary home for anti-communist voices in South Florida because it was one of the few places where those who value freedom of thought could speak their minds and argue against socialist tyranny in our hemisphere. We are concerned that this purchase of Radio Mambi is a thinly veiled attempt to stifle voices inconvenient to progressive liberals. If true, it will be yet another attempt by the left to erode first amendment rights and a free marketplace of ideas.

"If this is an attempt by the left to sell Hispanics on their woke ideology and culture wars, then we predict this venture is doomed to fail the way Air America did. Hispanics are much smarter than that."
