Chumel Torres revives Nay Salvatori's comedy video; 'the internet never forgets'

Mexican legislator Nayeli Salvatori is once again under a spotlight for past controversial statements, this time amplified by a resurfaced video of her stand-up comedy routine from 2009. Communicator Chumel Torres shared the clip on his Radio Fórmula program, showcasing Salvatori's performance on Televisa's "Hazme Reír y serás millonario." The routine was met with harsh criticism from judges like Consuelo Duval, Rafael Inclán, and Manuel "El Flaco" Ibáñez, who noted the audience's lack of laughter.

This comes after Salvatori, a Morena deputy in the Puebla Congress, made a dismissive comment about older adults on her podcast "Descasadas," describing them as people who "already smell like a trunk." Despite offering a public apology and defending her right to freedom of expression, claiming her words were taken out of context, the media scrutiny persists.

Salvatori, who entered politics in 2018 with the Partido Encuentro Social (PES), also has a background as an influencer. Her online persona, "La Señora de las Lomas," gained her popularity for her comedic style. Torres commented on the situation, suggesting that politicians seek television appearances and that Salvatori's political career is a consequence of her past actions, even referencing her push for a "Censorship Law."

“

The Mexican politicians want to be on TV, they want to go on "Se Vale," they want to be on "Hoy" (...) Nay Salvatori does the worst comedy display I have ever seen in my life, her anger grows, she becomes a deputy, and that's why she wanted to create the Censorship Law.
