Rubio Condemns Giving Castro Daughter US Visa?

Sen. Marco Rubio on Wednesday blasted the decision to grant Cuban President Raul
Castro’s daughter a U.S. visa as “shameful," “outrageous,” and a slap in the
face to democracy activists in Cuba, according to a press release.

The
U.S. State Department approved a visa for Mariela Castro, a prominent gay rights
activist in Cuba, to visit the United States. She is scheduled to chair a panel
on the politics of sexual diversity at a gathering next week in San Francisco
organized by the Latin American Studies Association. She will also speak at the
New York Public Library on May 29.

“I think the U.S. government’s decision to grant the daughter of Raul Castro a
visa to come to the United States and spread the propaganda of her father’s
regime is outrageous and an enormous mistake,” Rubio, R-Fla., said in a video
statement posted in both English and Spanish on YouTube.
