The Democratic Socialists have started crawling out of their holes to speak about Cuba. Do they blame the communist regime, which has inflicted pain and suffering on Cubans for 62 years?
Nope.
Why would they condemn the communist regime? They preach communism under the name Democratic Socialism.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) finally released a statement regarding the Cuban uprising, which began on Sunday.
“We are seeing Cubans rise up and protest for their rights like never before,” she stated. “We stand in solidarity with them, and we condemn the anti-democratic actions led by President Diaz-Canel. The suppression of the media, speech and protest are all gross violations of civil rights.”
Yes, ma’am, the Cuban government is only suppressing media, speech, and protests.
America is to blame for the rest:
We also must name the U.S. contribution to Cuban suffering: our sixty-year-old embargo. Last month, once again, the U.N. voted overwhelmingly to call on the United States to lift its embargo on Cuba. The embargo is absurdly cruel and, like too many other U.S. policies targeting Latin Americans, the cruelty is the point. I outright reject the Biden administration’s defense of the embargo. It is never acceptable for us to use cruelty as a point of leverage against every day people.
You know, if the regime loosened its grip, Cubans would not have to rely on America and other countries for food, medicine, and other basic needs.
Just saying.
History lesson:
One more:
Self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also blamed America:
Black Lives Matter blamed America and praised Cuba for protecting a convicted cop killer.
