Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) weighed in on the ongoing situation in Cuba late on Thursday evening with a statement that appeared to blame all the suffering that the Cuban people have experienced over decades on the U.S. and only criticized Cuba’s government for their actions in response to the protests that broke out over the weekend.
“We are seeing Cubans rise up and protest for their rights like never before,” she said. “We stand in solidarity with them, and we condemn the anti-democratic actions led by President Diaz-Canel. The suppression of the media, speech and protest are all gross violations of civil rights.”
