Fox News
Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Cori Bush have yet to weigh in on Black Lives Matter declaring its support for Cuba's communist regime.
"The people of Cuba are being punished by the U.S. government because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination," the statement said. "United States leaders have tried to crush this Revolution for decades." The statement also credited Cuba's government for "protecting Black revolutionaries like Assata Shakur," a convicted cop-killer who fled to Cuba after escaping from prison in 1979. BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors has repeatedly praised Shakur in the past.More Related News
