A host of prominent Republicans with strong political connections to Florida’s Hispanic community — including Sen. Marco Rubo (R-FL), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) — rushed to condemn President Barack Obama’s decision to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba on Wednesday, citing the Castro regime’s oppression and dictatorial form of government.
