Former US ambassador, Cuban spy blames decision to betray country on Yale's radical politics in 60s, 70s

Former U.S. Ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha, who pleaded guilty last week to serving as a Cuban spy, blames radical politics from Yale during formative college years.
Before the judge handed down the sentence, Rocha issued a statement on his guilty plea, which was shared by Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., on X. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
"I am a 73-year-old man. During my formative years in college, I was heavily influenced by the radical politics of the day," Rocha said. "My deep commitment at that time to radical social change in the region led me to the eventual betrayal of my oath of loyalty to the United States during my two decades in the State Department."
