I suspect these guys had been living in a right-wing political bubble and had a brutal encounter with reality.

Considering the hard-right turn US-Cuban relations have made since January of last year, I can’t help but wonder if any of those guys had even BEEN to Cuba.

Whether they have or not, I’m saving my sympathies for somebody else.
