Politicians do things that make you shake your head and ponder this question, what were they thinking? Case and point Congressman Maurice Hinchey. Hinchey traveled to the communist country of Cuba to try and end the trade embargo that the United States has on Cuba. Before I continue with the story let me give you some bio on what Fidel Castro has done to Cuba. Thousands of Cubans have died in front of Castro's infamous firing squad. Even before the triumph of the Revolution, Castro and his gang were prone to murder those who disagreed with them. A cop killer that was convicted of killing a New Jersey State Trooper escaped from prison and deflected to Cuba and Castro has refused to turn the prisoner over To the U.S. Cubans cannot watch or listen to independent, private, or foreign broadcasts. Cubans cannot read books, magazines or newspapers unless they have been approved/published by the government. And now the rest of the story. A fundraiser was held for Maurice Hinchey titled “Maurice Hinchey goes to Cuba”. The flier that was designed for the event depicted some photos of Hinchey’s trip to Cuba. One photo in particular that has sparked an outrage is a photo of Hinchey and Castro together. It’s appalling that a sitting member of the house of representatives would want their picture taken with one of the ruthless dictators of our time, but it’s simply outrageous that Hinchey would use the photo as a fundraising tool. Please help us get this story out.
