Cruz: ‘Sad’ US Will Have Embassy in Havana Before Having an Embassy In Jerursalem

Republican presidential candidate and Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) denounced the US opening an embassy in Cuba wondering “How sad is it that under the Obama administration the United States is going to have an embassy in Havana before we have an embassy in Jerusalem?” on Wednesday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show.”

Cruz said, “I think this is a serious mistake. It’s a manifestation of the pattern of weakness and appeasement towards our enemies that has characterized the Obama-Clinton foreign policy. It’s the same pattern that occurred — that is occurring with regard to Russia, with regard to Iran, and it’s a very dangerous pattern.

Communist leaning Valerie Jarrett keeps a tight rein on Obama, pushing him to recognize the Communist Party in Cuba, now headed by Castro's brother Raúl, Communism still governs Cuba today. The Jarrett and Obama presidency have no qualms as to the bloody history of Che and Castro....Angel Ciutat advised Che about the construction of Cuba’s secret police, which he learned from the most sinister secret police chief of all—Lavrenty Beria, head of Josef Stalin’s NKVD. Nearly all Che’s victims were Cuban. Would Americans love a foreign implant who murdered thousands, forced thousands more into slavery, and drove more than a million to exile?.....No they would not, but Jarrett and Obama, Van Jones et al do. Hello Communism! Good-bye Freedom.
