'We Doubled The Infant Mortality Rate!': Pocan Relentlessly Grills Waltz Over Cuba Blockade

Published | Video Starts at 00:50

I have not read the entire report, but as a native Floridian, I'm familiar with the antics and adversarial. Gotcha. But you haven't. Regime gotcha. Can you explain to me, on July 7th, There was a vote in the UN to continue debate about the US blockade of Cuba, and we oppose that. And we kind of had an embarrassing defeat. 136 to 9, with 30 abstentions. But given what this report said, why are we afraid to have that debate? If there's so much information we want to share with the world about Cuba, why did we not extend. (00:50–01:02)
