Biden blames Trump for Cuba push to rejoin UN Human Rights Council, despite it being a member during Obama admin
Fox News ^ | May 16 2020 | Adam Shaw

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden on Friday blamed President Trump for a push by Cuba to join the U.N. Human Rights Council -- a criticism that ignores Cuba’s membership multiple times during the Obama administration.

“Trump's international failures have cleared a path for Cuba to join the U.N. Human Rights Council,” Biden tweeted in English and Spanish. “This would betray Cuba's political prisoners and further undermine U.S. diplomacy. As President, I will lead by empowering the Cuban people and defending human rights.”

It was not clear what international failures he was speaking about, or how that was connected to the Cuban push to get on the Council. The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News.

I think Trump just redesignated Cuba as a terrorist-supporting state. I suppose that qualified it for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council.

Tr-t-trump made Cuba worse by cutting it off and now it’s getting UN access. When CornPop and I ran the White House we gave it full US access and stopped hostilities so it would come to us for help in boarding a socialist US!

He is sacrificial lamb. Surrising they didn’t let Sanders win and then clean house of socialists after he would lose in November. Now they’ll have to deal with them again in 2024.

"How the heck he win?"

That's what the 'mail-in voting' push is all about. That's the only way he CAN win.

To be fair, I'm not sure if Biden remembers the Obama administration.

As soon as Barack made it legal to travel to Cuba, a friend asked if I wanted to go.

Upon my reply in the negative he responded “You wanted to go for years. Why don’t you want to go now? “

“Well, there was something romantic about traveling to Cuba when it was illegal “ I replied

Biden:
“This would betray Cuba's political prisoners and further undermine U.S. diplomacy. As President, I will lead by empowering the Cuban people and defending human rights.”

Well Joe, it was YOU and Obama that opened Cuba up to the USA and legitimized their despotic dictatorship regime.

So man up and admit you promoted communism as a wonderful system.

That should make Bernie happy, he loves Cuba and communism too.

Maybe if you keep your mouth shut, Bernie's supporters will support you.

No prob with what you just said, they know you do not mean it,
