      Talk about a traitor…

      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.
