  • On Thursday January 18, hardline Cuban American Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) told Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) she couldn't join a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing on Cuba.
    Salazar accuses Cuba's government of stifling free speech while doing the same to Lee, a Black woman who advocates lifting the embargo.
    Belly of the Beast reports from Capitol Hill.

    Well, it is very clear what is wrong and what is right. Barbara Lee is the winner.

    Just like I have been saying for years, it's the Cuban American politicians from Florida responsible for keeping sanctions on Cuba, not the President or the Congress per se. This is a great example.

      Yeah so what. If the cuban regime would step down the cuban American politicians would lift the embargo but the cuban regime wont just go to hell and leave cubans alone so its never getting lifted.

    Barbara Lee is a legend, the only elected representative to vote against going to war under the Bush administration. She's correct on the Cuba issue, too.

    Rep. Salazar is from Florida but she acts like she's in the Tennessee State Legislature. Oink oink.

    Total disrespect towards Rep. Barbara Lee. Does Maria Elvira Salazar think she is the owner of USA?

      You mean like the Democrat J6 hearing council holds & owns the lives of the J6 Defendants. More then two years & the Defendants still have their rights ignored. They are political prisoners just like the Cuban People are prisoners of the Cuban Communist Gov't..

    La congresista @MaElviraSalazar hace gala de su intolerancia y odio contra el pueblo cubano; cuando vetó la participación a congresista que defiende un entendimiento entre ambas naciones. María se atreverá a realizar el debate aquí en La Habana?

    Rep. Barbara Lee statement read, "The Obama Administration’s effort to engage Cuba offered real hope that "the Cuban people might have the chance to finally determine their own destiny, free from the meddling of either the US or Cuban governments"[WTF!?]. While politicians in "Washington and Havana continue their petty squabbles"[WTF"!?], it’s the Cuban people who are paying the price."
    [edit.] The Cuban people elect their own government which makes sure no body is left uncared for and everyone has the right to food, housing, education and healthcare unlike the USA. The US blockade of Cuba is no petty squabble as evidence by the UN vote 185-2 to condemn it. Barbara Lee has lost touch with reality when she makes statements like these. The Democratic leadership is rudderless.
