AOC blames Cuban suffering on US 'contributions,' parroting Black Lives Matter
Fox News
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., broke her silence Thursday on anti-government protests that have broken out in Cuba by partially blaming the suffering of “everyday people” on the historical legacy of the U.S.’ 60-year-old embargo.
She called the communist government’s suppression of media, speech and protest "gross violations of civil rights." But she then evoked the United States’ "contribution" to what is turning out to be Cuba’s worst crisis in decades. "We also must name the U.S. contribution to Cuban suffering: our sixty-year-old embargo," she said.More Related News
