It’s Cuba Libre!, Mr. BidenThere’s a reason the administration is silent about Cuba’s dissidents.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has famously stated and recently redoubled his assessment that Joe Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” True enough. But in a notable instance, Biden and his fellow leftists are not merely wrong in their approach but willfully complicit in propping up a totalitarian regime: Communist Cuba.
As the Wall Street Journal’s perceptive Mary Anastasia O’Grady observed of Biden:
During his press conference last week President Biden was asked to comment on U.S. foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere . . . He went on to express concern about the shrinking number of democracies in the world. Yet strangely the president never mentioned the region’s heart of darkness, the 63-year-old military dictatorship in Havana.
Cuba’s intelligence and security apparatuses direct the repression in Venezuela and Nicaragua and support the one-party state in Bolivia. Cuba is actively trying to undermine democratic institutions in Colombia, Peru and Chile. At home it uses torture, imprisonment and exile to put down dissent.
Liberty in the region can’t be secured without taking on totalitarian Havana. Mr. Biden’s failure to give priority to the task is alarming. It’s why, despite the historic July 11 uprising, the hope for a Cuba libre that welled up last summer is fading.
Due in large measure to Biden’s deliberate neglect of this locus of totalitarianism 90 miles from our shore, genocidal Communist China and other rogue governments are assisting the Cuban regime in ramping up its repression of imprisoned dissidents, whose only “crime” is demanding their God-given rights.
Unlike Biden, the purported leader of the free world, two champions of Cuban and human freedom, Rosa Maria Paya and retired Florida congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart, are working to help end the plight of two Cuban freedom seekers: Felix Navarro and his daughter, Saylí.
