In response to President Obama’s address to “normalize” relations with the oppressive, murderous, narco-trafficking, state sponsor of terrorism and communist Cuban government, Senator Marco Rubio, whose family fled the island in the late 1950’s, went on a media blitz this past week, railing against the president’s irresponsible move that only serves to legitimize the Castro regime’s decades-long human rights atrocities, including the murders of hundreds, if not thousands of political dissidents.
Obama not only has American blood on his hands because of his weak and failed foreign policy in the Middle East, but now you can add the blood of all those victims of the Castro regime, and from the victims in other countries that the Castro’s have influenced and propped up.One of these countries is Venezuela, where Cubans have stood with Chavez, and now Maduro’s thugs to silence the freedoms of the Venezuelan people.
If you think Rubio is spitting mad over this decision, you are right. Rubio drew a line in the sand, telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he just took theĀ gloves off.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Rubio said that Obama”is going to have a heck of a fight on his hand to get [an embassy in Havana] funded, as long as I’m in the Senate.”
Secretary of State John Kerry stated that he would be the first Secretary to travel to Cuba, and that the Obama administration was looking to build an embassy on the island, which would mean that a nominee for Ā ambassador to that country would have selected, and voted on in the U.S. Senate
Ā “Not only will I vote against it, but I reserve the right to do everything within the rules of the Senate to prevent that sort of individual from ever even coming up for a vote.”-Sen. Marco Rubio.
Rubio then echoed what Ā many of usĀ who follow U.S.-Cuban relations know:
The entire policy shift is based on the illusionāin fact, on the lieāthat more commerce and access to money and goods will translate to political freedom for the Cuban people. Cuba already enjoys access to commerce, money and goods from other nations, and yet the Cuban people are still not free. They are not free because the regimeājust as it does with every aspect of lifeāmanipulates and controls to its own advantage all currency that flows into the island. More economic engagement with the U.S. means that the regimeās grip on power will be strengthened for decades to comeādashing the Cuban peopleās hopes for freedom and democracy.-Sen.
