Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed the "Absurdly cruel" U.S. embargo of Cuba on Thursday for the nation's turmoil, singling out "Trump-era restrictions" on the socialist state as driving the unrest.
We also call for an end to the U.S. embargo and additional Trump-era restrictions that are profoundly contributing to the suffering of Cubans.
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.
AOC's response mirrors a Black Lives Matter statement on Thursday, which singled out the "Cruel and inhumane" U.S. for the unrest in Cuba and praised the Communist regime for its "Solidarity" with oppressed people.
BLM accused the U.S. of causing the instability with its embargoes which have caused "Pain and suffering" for Cubans for 60 years in the message which was branded "Worse than embarrassing."
On Thursday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," Sen. Chris Coons also declared U.S. "Oppression" of Cuba's Communist dictatorship government "Has created the conditions, in combination with our sanctions and with COVID, for a popular uprising."
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
