Nancy Pelosi Heckled At Miami Restaurant By Cuban-American Trump Supporters
Nancy Pelosi was heckled by a group of Cuban-American Trump supporters and shouted out of a Miami restaurant while helping to campaign for a Florida Democrat, the Miami Herald is reporting.
Pelosi has been helping Miami Democrat Donna Shalala, a former Clinton administration official, in her campaign for Congress. Unfortunately for Pelosi and Shalala, on Wednesday they and some colleagues found themselves surrounded by angry protesters, demanding answers about the Democrats’ willingness to work with Cuba.
Miami’s Cuban community is fiercely anti-Castro — and here “Castro” refers to both the Cuban dictator who died in 2016, and his brother Raul, who took up Fidel’s duties. The general Democratic policy towards Cuba is one of inclusiveness, as the Obama administration had partially overturned decades-old sanctions against Cuba. The general Republican attitude towards Cuba is one of continuing the Kennedy-era sanctions against the island nation.
