You have to give the White House credit. When they latch onto a narrative, they stick with it regardless of how obviously false it is. Case-in-point: The spin they’re putting on the Cuban protests happening right now.
They demand freedom. They are sick of long bread lines and inadequate socialized medicine. They want their government to stop being Communist. But to the White House, the cries against socialized medicine are actually demands for more vaccines. No, really.
According to Just The News:
In a rare outbreak of mass protests in Cuba, thousands of people on Sunday marched through the streets of their island nation, demanding freedom from the communist regime.
“We are not afraid,” chanted the marchers, whose efforts were depicted on video that circulated among Spanish-speaking audiences in Cuba and the United States. Their cries included, “down with the dictatorship,” and “we want liberty.”
The protests erupted after months of unrest over food lines, and frustrations over medical care and what protesters said was government neglect.
Protesters carried the American flag through the streets of Havana, according to U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a Florida Republican who tweeted about the July 11 marches. Salazar was joined on Twitter by her fellow Floridian, Sen. Marco Rubio.
“In#Cuba they are rising up because socialism is always a disaster,” Rubio wrote.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel appeared on national television on Sunday to warn that protesters would face a “strong response.” Harking to the long-ago movement that put communist Fidel Castro in charge of Cuba in 1959, Diaz-Canel said: “There are many revolutionaries in this country who are willing to give our lives, we are willing to do anything, and we will be in the streets fighting,” according to the...

I guess communists don’t like bad press about communism.
But But But... they have the greatest medical system anywhere and all for free!!!... Or so I have been told by my wife’s aunt who went on a Cuban vacation.

These protests really put the Left in a bind. I expect they won’t be covered any more after tonight as lying about them will only open more people’s eyes.
Should start a running tally on what Twitter will use an an excuse to censor Cuba...
Michael Moore-On agrees with your wife’s aunt.
And he’s always been spot-on with his political takes.
Donald Trump should have told the communists in Cuba and Venezuela on his first day in office that they had 24 hours to leave. Cleaned out those cesspools early. I have no doubt that if he was in the White House now, freedom would be coming to Cuba shortly.
Same reason the Hong Kong protests were downplayed. The media hated them for flying the American flag and Trump signs.

Sounds like your wife’s aunt is an idiot.
The Cubans should have protested when Trump was in office, he would have helped them
Maybe they did, but the gaslight press buried it.
No American commies ever move to a commie hellhole - they just pretend they’re wonderful From the safe distance of being in the US...
If Micheal Moore lived in the cuban hellhole for a month he would hate it. Or he’d be lying. I’d like to think he would hate it.
He’d lose some weight, for sure.
I wonder how many Cubans have been following Yoel And Mari on Youtube.
Don’t forget, the regime has opened up the internet in the last year or so.
