I would have to go look it up, but I distinctly remember her language about Cuba was way too state department friendly during their last color revolution attempt (the one that the state dept created a social media app in Cuba for). I have a clear memory of telling my friend how mad I was at AOC because support for Cuba is the baseline easiest test to pass if you know literally anything about the history of the island
this is the first one that came up with a search, the statement sucks and is the “both sides” I remember, but also remember some other tweet of hers torquing me off
The replies are hurting my eyes to read. Just a bunch of reactionary Cubans (most likely Cuban-Americans) crying about communism, saying the embargo is good and that they love Cuba at the same time, as if that’s possible 🙄
The way she could have just said nothing on the topic. In fact, she could have said nothing on many topics and kept a good amount of her leftist cred.
thinking about her both-sidesing and obvious lies about #SOSCuba
Oh God, what did she say about Cuba?

Ya, exactly. That’s like a 101 test in being a good socialist, no matter which flavor you are. Well, that’s disappointing.
