Biden official whitewashes Cuban fight for freedom by claiming protests are about rising COVID cases

 

Acting Assistant Secretary for US Department of State, Julie Chung, said, "Peaceful protests are growing in #Cuba as the Cuban people exercise their right to peaceful assembly to express concern about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortages."

As thousands of Cubans took to the streets across the island country on Sunday to march against Cuba's communist dictatorship, the Biden administration whitewashed their fight for freedom by claiming the protests are about rising cases of coronavirus, instead of the country's failed socialized policies under the Castro regime.

In a tweet on Sunday afternoon, Acting Assistant Secretary for US Department of State, Julie Chung, said, "Peaceful protests are growing in #Cuba as the Cuban people exercise their right to peaceful assembly to express concern about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortages. We commend the numerous efforts of the Cuban people mobilizing donations to help neighbors in need."

However, Chung failed to mention that Cubans are protesting against their communist government, after socialized policies led to high-inflation which resulting in massive food and medicine shortages after decades of oppression at the hands of the dictatorship.

No they’re chanting LIBERTAD. Stop playing cover for communists and support the Cuban people. My god. Why is that so hard for you. https://t.co/gdJ3dC9SOl

The New York Times backed the Cuban communist government as citizens from across Cuba chanted "liberty" while flying the American flag, looking to America's founding principles for hope of a better quality of life.
