Marco Rubio Slams Obama’s Move on Cuba as ‘Terrible, But Not Surprising’

MIAMI, Florida — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has harsh words of criticism for the man he seeks to replace, after the Obama administration announced that it was removing Cuba from the State Department’s list of State Sponsors of Terrorism.

As Breitbart News’ Frances Martel reported, Obama made this decision despite the Castro regime’s support for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a Marxist terrorist group, and the Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah. Cuba has also shielded from extradition Assata Shakur, who the FBI put on the Top Ten Most Wanted Terrorists List for her role in the killing of a New Jersey State Trooper, as Breitbart Texas reported.

Rubio released two video statements, in both English and Spanish. In the videos, Rubio says that Obama’s decision “is a terrible one, but not surprising unfortunately.” The Senator flat out declares that Cuba is a State Sponsor of Terrorism, mentioning the Shakur case and Cuba’s support of North Korea’s evasions of UN weapons sanctions.

Cuba “should have remained on the list of state sponsors of terrorism,” said Rubio, the day after he announced he was running for President, “and I think sends a chilling message to our enemies aboard that this White House is no longer serious about calling terrorism by its proper name.”
