The White House announced Monday President Joe Biden held a Zoom video conference call with Cuban-American celebrities in an attempt to organize a policy in response to nationwide anti-communist protests on the island.
The call was hosted by the Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement Cedric Richmond and an administration national security advisor for the region.
CBS Miami reporter Jim DeFede revealed, citing a White House press release, that the call included celebrity musician Gloria Estefan; her husband, producer Emilio Estefan; and actor Andy Garcia. The rest of the list included business leaders, lobbyists, and a playwright. DeFede named only one Cuban religious leader, Father Fernando Hería, on the list. Notable omissions include all Cuban-American senators, former political prisoners residing in the United States, and leaders of humanitarian and human rights groups specializing in Cuban issues in Florida.

Zoom is what Joe says when he’s being wheeled to get ice-cream
Wait , is he planning Bay of Pigs II ?
Is there anything celebrities don’t know?!
Given the American public is indoctrinated, and stone cold stupid, this is a good PR move.
Oh, jeezez. We’re asking Hollywood about international policy now? We’re doomed.
It would be even more fun if the one priest "only one Cuban religious leader, Father Fernando Hería" gets on the call and says "Joe needs to do something or be denied Holy Communion for this and his support of abortion". Now that would be religious leadership.
I hate to say anything remotely positive about Dementia Joe, but I actually don’t have a problem with this. Andy Garcia has long been very solid in his anti-Castro, pro-freedom views on his ancestral home.
If we just Exported ALL of Hollywood to Cuba, it will get fixed overnight
That’s the secret of Red Zone Cuba.
Cuba for years has been a playground for Hollywood Pedos, that’s why Hollywood has always loved Cuba. The last thing they want is for the regime to fall, and their secrets uncovered.
Andy Garcia is a conservative. Doubt he wants to talk to Biteme...
It’s a Dog and Pony Show.
Symbolism vs substance, as Rush would say.
I’m waiting for Bay of Pigs II. The CIA will do it right this time?
Obama’s CIA really ? LOL
Gloria Estefan’s father took part in the Bay of Pigs and was imprisoned for 20 years
Was Ben Rhodes not available? That’s exactly what that buffoon would do, under Obama.
He should have included Cuba Gooding, Jr on the call
re: Andy Garcia, and even Gloria Estefan....yes, that’s true but it’s more true that Biden is infinitely more responsive and beholden to the Squad and its demands on the Cuba issue. Reaching to Garcia and Estefan is just lip service, symbolism, and covering his ass. Supposed to play out by showing him to be friendly to the idea of Cuban independence from an endless cycle of Communist dictators.This Administration would more likely make friends with yet another America-friendly dictator like Batista or, who was the one who briefly bobbed on the surface about a decade ago ? Mas Conosa?
