Rep. Carlos Giménez: Cuba protests – Biden must condemn communist regime, stand with freedom fighters

The American flag always has been, and always will be, a symbol of hope and optimism for a freer and more democratic society. Nothing makes that more clear than the countless American flags being waved by the brave freedom fighters in Cuba.

The reality is this: those on the political fringes, the Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezes of the world, who believe that racism and oppression are ingrained into the DNA of this country, DO NOT represent the true values of America.  If the United States is to truly live up to its mission and make good on our promises to the hopeful people of the world, then it is our responsibility to stand firm in support of the Cuban people who seek a free and democratic Cuba once and for all.  From the inception of this great country, the world has always rallied to America’s side. Our founding helped fuel the revolutions of the Americas against the great colonial powers. The raising of the American flag throughout Europe and the Pacific Theater during World War II is what signaled to the world freedom had prevailed over tyranny.
