Sen. Ted Cruz said Sunday that President Obama's trip to Cuba indicates that the world has abandoned political prisoners held under the country's communist regime.
Cruz, a Cuban-American and an original critic of the United States' detente with the island nation, wrote in a Politico op-ed that the media spectacle of the president's visit will cast a shadow over the reality of humanitarian conditions there.
"[P]olitical prisoners languishing in dungeons across the island will hear this message: Nobody has your back. You're alone with your tormentors. The world has forgotten about you," Cruz wrote. "They will not be on TV, rubbing elbows with the Obamas or left-wing politicians like Nancy Pelosi. There will be no mojitos at the U.S. Embassy for them. Raul Castro denies their very existence."...

Can Ted even name one?
STAY THERE COMMIE PINKO.
“Trump’s response to Obama’s visit thus far has consisted of a criticism of Raul Castro’s etiquette: ‘Wow, President Obama just landed in Cuba, a big deal, and Raul Castro wasn’t even there to greet him. He greeted Pope and others. No respect’”
Why would you stoop so low as to say something like that?
I wonder did President Obama take the Brigade 2506 Regimental Flag with him so that it could be presented just like President Kennedy vowed it would be when Cuba became free of the Communist oppressors. What a sad day for all free Cubans who fought against these tyrants. The sacrifices of Brigade 2506 and the men who fought in the Florida Straits with Alpha 66 have been tarnished today. What has happened to this country?
Another shameful treasonous act from Zero. Nine more months of this crap and then we reclaim our country.
Boy is that ever a non-issue.
I am against political prisoners but I can’t name one anywhere in the world. I guess I am not a true conservative.
Sheesh
Why bash Trump on this thread? Cruz gave a great statement. Why couldn’t you just leave it at that?
Yes! and just in time to save the communist nation of Cuba. Russia has pulled out because they can no longer afford to prop up the regime. Obama to the rescue Now more immigration and communist ideology. Anything to destroy this country.
They rounded up some political prisoners right before the president of the United States arrived. Great(/s).
Trump lives rent free in his head
And .. it also means that we are not going to DEMAND the return of a person who committed a crime here in the USA.
So, that person can continue to hide out in Cuba; and this president is okay with that.
Can you?
