Same ethnicity? Menendez is Ecuadorian? I always thought he was Cuban. If you know anything about either country, they have about as much in common (from a culture standpoint, or if you’d like, ethnically) as the United States and Nigeria, even though both countries speak the same language.
This is a very complicated story that involves Ecuador’s seizure of banks and private corporations when the left came into power there a few years ago. Ecuador has become a leftist kleptocracy aligned with all the bad players in the hemisphere.
The only thing Ecuador and Cuba have in common is that they are ruled by leftwing nutcases, and I’m actually surprised that Menendez is not supporting them.
The Post should do better research.
