Cruz calls out Biden administration amid reports of Cuba’s crackdown on protesters
Sen. Ted Cruz told anti-government protesters in Cuba that they have the support of the U.S.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Monday questioned an early tweet from the U.S. State Department that seemed to assure Americans that the right to peaceful assembly is observed in Cuba amid new reports of a punishing crackdown by the government and an emerging "list of missing persons."

Cruz, the son of a Cuban immigrant, posted a portion of an article from the Wall Street Journal that mentioned Cuba’s Communist government’s effort to snuff out protests. Havana deployed security forces across the island and arrested dozens.

"How is this possible??" Cruz tweeted. "The Biden State Dept told us that the Cuban communist dictatorship protects their "right to peaceful assembly"?"

There will likely be a large number of protesters just disappear. Commies don't play games like Americans do. CHARLIE.

I say that for every one of the Cubans that wants to come to the U.S. we should send them one of the communistic-wanna-be idiots that are running around protesting here in the U.S., by the looks of it there ought to be enough to bring most who want to leave.
