The Democratic Socialists of America met with Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s dictator. They now support the communist regime in Cuba and now back any calls for freedom.
Fox News reported that the four House Democrats who are tied to the socialist group are quite silent on the matter, as is the controversial Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D.N.Y.
Protesters, outraged by energy shortages and blackouts and tired from coronavirus Pandemic lockdowns, took to the streets to demand freedom from Cuba’s communist government.
With over 92,000 members and chapters across all 50 states, the DSA is America’s largest socialist organization.
AOC, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Cori Bus (D-Mo.) are all DSA members sitting in Congress. Fox News reached out to them and the DSA officials but they have not yet responded.
The DSA International Committee on Monday backed the communist ruling class, tweeting:
“DSA stands with the Cuban people and their Revolution in this moment of unrest. End the blockade.”
Its Twitter account then added:
“The embargo must end full stop.”
The former tweet’s reference to “revolution” is what the communist government calls itself, and is not supporting the Democracy protesters, according to Fox News. The latter tweet is rebuking the Trump administration trade embargo against Cuba, that was in place during the Biden administration.
Arguably Congress’ most famous Democratic-socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., did tweet Monday night for Cuba to “refrain from violence,” while he also denounced the trade embargo levied against the communist country by the United States.
“It’s also long past time to end the unilateral U.S. embargo on Cuba, which has only hurt, not helped, the Cuban people,” Sanders’ tweet read.
