The Gateway Pundit reported that the National Co-Chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, Ashik Siddique, became a bumbling mess when confronted by Latino journalist Jorge Ramos, when he was asked a simple question about whether or not Cuba is a dictatorship.
He immediately tried to make the issue about Trump and the blockade on Cuba, because he could not answer the question honestly.
CNN’s Boris Sanchez confronted Siddique over the organization’s unfounded praise of Cuba, and shared the story of his anti-Batista grandfather being imprisoned by Castro to drive home the realities of the regime.
Once again, Siddique was so shaken that he couldn’t form a response.
Sanchez told Siddique, “I get your criticism of foreign policy. As I said, it’s not an uncommon one, but lauding Fidel Castro is a different story.”
“You talk about what things were like before the revolution in Cuba. I’ll give you a personal example. My grandfather was a revolutionary in Cuba during that time. He was affected by a previous dictator, Fulgencio Batista, having his friends disappeared in the street for speaking their minds.”
“My grandfather found that revolution, hoping to bring democracy to Cuba, and then what happened?”
“Fidel Castro locked my grandfather up, sentenced to 20 years for doing what you’re doing now on live TV, for speaking his mind, for expressing himself freely, for trying to organize politically.”
“So I wonder again how you think that lands with people who suffered under that dictatorship, who now you are trying to court as voters when your organization comes out and lauds 100 years of Castro. I don’t think it would land that well with them, Ashik.”
Instead of actually answering the question, Siddique parrotted DSA’s talking points and replied, “We’re seeing many people in the United States who are seeing their— who are struggling under massive inequality in the United States.”
Watch:
This is absolutely insane, must-watch clip.
