Carlos Curbelo Jabs Obama for Reopening Embassy in Cuba

As the Obama administration, led by U.S. Sec. of State John Kerry, reopened the American embassy in Cuba on Friday, U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., pushed back, insisting normalization has hurt efforts against the Castor regime. 

"Secretary Kerry's trip to Cuba only legitimizes the Castros' illegitimate tyrannical rule,” Curbelo said on Friday. “Since President Obama’s December announcement, over 3000 political arrests have been made, including over a hundred just this past weekend. The Obama administration has put blinders on to the to the increased repression against peaceful pro-democracy activists. This is the true nature of the dictatorship this administration has acquiesced to. I again call on Secretary Kerry to summon the moral courage and backbone to condemn these atrocious human rights violations against the Cuban people."
