Is this another non white woman that's a Republican? Talk about a traitor... Jesus Christ
I was all set to say that a lot of Cubans seem to be so anti communist that they're pro fascist. But she's not Cuban. I assumed wrongly. She was born in California.
To be a traitor, you had to pretend at loyalty to begin with. I don't see anything in her background to suggest she was ever more than a stooge for the GOP.
That's very common among Cuban ex-pats. The community is inundated in right-wing revanchism and a burning sense of entitlement and hatred. Every time a liberal US politician tries to reopen diplomatic and trade relations with Cuba, the dead-enders lash out. Every time a conservative promises more sanctions, more embargo, and a tighter siege of the island, they start prepping their boats for Bay of Pigs 2. The Cuban lobby isn't as bad as AIPAC, but not for lack of trying.
