Biden's Cuba bombshell shocks Florida Democrats

Biden's Cuba bombshell shocks Florida Democrats
 
President Biden's last-minute executive order Tuesday to undo sanctions on Cuba and delist the socialist nation as a terrorism sponsor is outraging already dispirited Florida Democrats.

Why it matters: Biden's order will be undone almost as soon as Donald Trump replaces him on Monday, so it will have little practical effect. But Florida Democrats fear Biden's move gives Trump a chance to frame their party as beholden to socialists.
 
In Florida — where Hispanics make up 19% of the voters — the issue of "socialism" turns off many people with roots in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Colombia, countries many of them escaped to avoid leftist violence or regimes.

What they're saying: "This is Joe Biden literally sinking the Democratic Party in the state of Florida. Big time," said Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a moderate Florida Democrat, adding that South Florida congressional delegation members share his view.

In this and releasing more terrorists from Guantanamo, seems he may be setting up to actually close down the facility and give the land back to Cuba.

The drop of the terror designation frees him up to do so, and he'll likely send the rest of inmates to somewhere in the US.

A very, very bad move for America.

🎯🎯🎯.
As the lone members of the Cuban Caucus, @marcorubio and I have heard stories from our parents who fled Cuba seeking freedom.
The Biden administration's 11th hour decision to delist Cuba as a terrorist organization can be undone by President Trump.
I look forward to seeing them re-listed when Trump is back in office.
