Video emerged on social media Sunday showing anti-government protesters in Cuba holding an American flag during their effort to end the country’s communist dictatorship blamed for the worsening conditions.

Giancarlo Sopo, a communication strategist who, according to the Federalist, once worked on former President Trump’s re-election campaign, tweeted a video of protesters holding an American flag while they marched.

SOCIALIST SANDERS MUM ON PROTESTS

"This is deeply moving," he posted. "Watch as Cubans wave American flag while marching against the island’s 62 year-old communist dictator on the streets of Havana. Never forget what America represents to millions across the world."

Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., also tweeted, "Protesters in America: Burn the US Flag, a symbol of freedom, liberty, & justice—ideals that EVERY American possesses but so often ignore. VS. Protesters in Cuba: Fly the America Flag & are willing to die for the freedom, liberty, & justice that’s synonymous with the USA."

Cuba is going through its worst economic crisis in decades, along with a resurgence of coronavirus cases, as it suffers the consequences of U.S. sanctions imposed by the Trump administration.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, who also heads the Communist Party, addressed the country and blamed the U.S. for stoking the anger, according to the Washington Post.

Faux News couldn't resist getting in that little dig, could they?

Poor Cubans don’t realize America is right where Cuba was in the waning days of Batista. But America is going to do communism right! /s

I noticed the Cuban Revolutionary flag was also there. Who remembers the 26th of July movement these days? Who remembers Cienfuegos? It was a revolution betrayed. Who remembers Cuba Si, Yankee No. Its certainly not a classroom thing.

If nothing else will generate a military response from Biden’s handlers, this will.

Meanwhile in Haiti, they are waving Biden signs requesting Biden allow all Haitians to enter the U.S. and receive welfare benefits.

I think that they realize that.

Probably why they are trying to move now, rather than later.

While we still have some of a pulse.

Kinda hard to protest when the other side has all the guns and the American leftists and isolationists look the other way.
