Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called out left-wing politicians in the United States who support socialist policies in light of the protests against communism in Cuba, contending they do not want to look at the “torture and murder and oppression and poverty” that such political systems produce.
“The problem is that this is a communist dictatorship. It is a socialist government, and so you’ve got a lot of American socialists who don’t want to call them out,” Cruz said during an appearance on the Michael Berry Show this week, discussing the pro-freedom protests in Cuba.
“When you’ve got Bernie Sanders and AOC embracing and advocating socialism here, they don’t want to look at the torture and murder and oppress and poverty,” Cruz continued.
“And what you end up with things like Jen Psaki saying, ‘Well the protests are against the mismanagement in Cuba.’ No. It’s not mismanagement. It’s oppression from a tyrannical regime and the people aren’t chanting in the street, ‘manage better,'” the Texas Republican said.
“They’re chanting ‘libertad.’ They’re chanting ‘freedom,'” he added:
