Bending over for Communists, they don’t care about the Americans the Castros murdered.
Via Free Beacon:
The mother of one of four young American men killed by the Castro regime in 1996 is decrying new details of the secret shuttle diplomacy that preceded the Obama administration’s rapprochement with Cuba, which a top Obama official revealed this week.
Ben Rhodes, who served as President Obama’s deputy national security adviser, in an interview with Univision that aired earlier this week, disclosed that he played a key role in paving the way for the political thaw with Cuba, meeting 20 times with then Cuban President Raul Castro’s son, Alejandro Castro Espin, and dining several times with Raul Castro himself.
Alejandro Castro Espin runs the island nation’s military and civilian intelligence services.
The meetings took place in Trinidad, Cancun, Canada, and Cuba over the course of a year, Rhodes said in the interview, part of his book tour promoting his memoir about working in the White House.
He also said he spoke to the Castros many times before Obama and Raul Castro spoke directly and took credit for laying the groundwork for the historic diplomatic and economic détente with Havana.
Those new details re-opened emotional wounds for Miriam de la Pena. She is the mother of Mario de la Pena, one of the four men killed in the infamous “Brothers to the Rescue” shootdown, when Cuban military jets downed two American aircraft in international waters.
“I think they need to know what harm they caused and what pain they caused—how our children were murdered by that system and that I feel like they are getting killed again and again because justice is still to be seen with these criminals not being held accountable and our president shaking hands and laughing and partying with the perpetrators,” she told the Washington Free Beacon.
