Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a leader of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, says she has been talking with ambassadors for Mexico and other Latin American countries about how to navigate Trump administration penalties for supplying oil to Cuba, which appears on the brink of economic collapse.
Since Maduro was removed, Jayapal said, only one Russian tanker has got past the U.S. de facto embargo, which provided 10 to 14 days of fuel.
The White House slammed progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who admitted she spoke with foreign ambassadors about getting oil to Cuba despite U.S. sanctions, defending the outreach as “literally our right and responsibility.”
“The Democrats continue to show Americans who they really are – the America Last party who sip margaritas with terrorists, advocate for illegal alien criminals, and undermine the United States to aid a failed, communist regime,” White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital.
Her remarks came as she sharply criticized U.S. sanctions on Cuba, describing them as “economic bombing of the infrastructure.”
“It is illegal. It is against the law,” she said. “This is essentially doing the same thing. It is bombing the infrastructure of Cuba with economic sanctions that essentially ensure that the infrastructure collapses.”
So the United States sets policy and this nit-wit thinks She can go around it?
Why hasn’t She been arrested ?
