Sen. Marco Rubio offered to help Black Lives Matter activists move to Cuba after the organization posted a message appearing to side with the country’s communist regime instead of the anti-government protesters.
"My office stands ready to help the leaders of the Black Lives Matter organization emigrate to #Cuba," the Florida Republican tweeted Thursday....
..On Wednesday night, Black Lives Matter issued a statement condemning the United States for its embargo of the island nation and seemingly blaming the U.S. for the unrest in the streets of Cuba that has left at least one person dead.
...Several GOP lawmakers, including Rubio, took issue with that statement and argued that Black Lives Matter was siding with communism instead of the United States.
"The extortionist ring known as the Black Lives Matter organization took a break today from shaking down corporations for millions & buying themselves mansions to share their support for the Communist regime in #Cuba," Rubio, who is of Cuban descent, posted on social media...

They can join the old black power terrorists and murderers who have been holed up there since the 70s.
North Korea would likely be more appropriate.
For the one, I would gladly chip in few bucks.
While everyone is condemning the US for its embargo, nobody mentions the fact that whatever goods and svcs. Cuba could benefit from the US, they have access to from all the other countries that aren't participating in the embargo.
Canada immediately comes to mind since they are a departure point for any Americans wishing to vacation in Cuba......
Not all prostitution is “human trafficking.” When feminists and Christians agree on an issue, you know it is BS.
Send the whole BLM bunch and their supporters down there in exchange for the Cuban protesters and the population of Hong Kong; we get a dynamic, freedom-loving people and they get a bunch of grifters and constant complainers who know nothing of Marxism.
I like your idea.
Atta boy Marco!
That would work...
Canada, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, all of the Caribbean islands, and all of Central and South America. Plenty of geographically close trading partners.
What we are really condemned for is not sending millions in foreign aid every year to the Castros’ off shore accounts, I mean, to Cuba.
Actually, last week Biden quietly lifted the sanctions on Venezuela, which has long been Cuba’s lifeline, steadily providing them with oil and food. So now the Cuban regime has got its supply lines going again, thanks to Biden.
I think we’ll see the Cuban uprising end pretty soon, again, thanks to Biden.
You win the internet today for the best idea 💡 of the day!!! 👏
Obviously, Rubio irritates me. But, I honestly there aren’t too many GOP Senators who have uttered a contemptuous word about BLM, at least publicly. Criticism of BLM had become the 3rd-rail for GOP Senators.
FWIW, AOC finally opened her pie-hole and she blames all the problems in Cuba on - wait for it - the US embargo. Communism is fine y’all, it’s the capitalists who are crazy.
Thanks, now that song is stuck in my head!

Rubio has a good idea but they will never go they can’t milk the system there’s no Woka-Colas there.
Correct. Not much comment on it. But Putin and Democrats are happy. Spanish TV showed a bit of backlash but not much.
Swim to Cuba!
Swim to Cuba!
