Washington, D.C – The radical Left is determined to not let up in their outrageous claims that the United States is responsible for the suffering of the Cuban people. 

Yesterday, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter to point blame at the U.S. and demand an end to the embargo. Former Florida Democrat Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell clapped back at AOC and her radical colleagues stating that the plight of the Cuban people is solely the fault of the “failed policies of a communist regime that has violated human rights, imprisoned & killed dissidents.”

But where is Val Demings? She’s nowhere to be found. Demings refuses to call out the radical Left and her Squad pals, even as other Florida Democrats are speaking up.

Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Priscilla Ivasco: “Once again, when an opportunity to call out the crazies in her own party arises, Congresswoman Val Demings is nowhere to be found. The Squad is blaming America for the plight of the Cuban people and Democrats across Florida are pushing back, except Washington’s favorite Florida Democrat, Val Demings. Does she agree with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that the United States is to blame for the suffering of the Cuban people? Florida’s Cuban community deserves to know.”
