Pence Vows to 'Reverse' President Obama's New Cuba Policies

MIAMI — Mike Pence declared to a roomful of Miami Republicans on Friday night that the Trump administration would maintain the U.S. embargo against Cuba upon entering office.

"Let me make a promise to you: When Donald Trump and I take to the White House, we will reverse Barack Obama's executive order on Cuba," Pence said. "We will support a continuation of the embargo until we see real political freedom in that nation once and for all."

The GOP vice presidential candidate's statement echoes his running mate, who tweeted two days ago that he would "reverse" the Obama directives "until freedoms are restored."

President Obama's executive actions, in part, have lifted a series of restrictions on Cuba, opened a U.S. embassy in the country and established travel and business between the two nations. He issued additional directives on Friday to further loosen restrictions aimed at increasing trade with the island nation.

4. Until freedoms are restored? Ummm... restored to what? Pre Revolution Cuba? Slavery?

Maybe we could get real political freedom here?

Meanwhile, those rat bastard Castro brothers force Cubans to be doctors, and forces Cubans to have doctors. Same goes for Cuban teachers and students ... all forced by Castro.

10. I can just imagine in a week or so....

Interviewer: Gov Pence, you said recently, and I quote, "Let me make a promise to you: When Donald Trump and I take to the White House, we will reverse Barack Obama's executive order on Cuba. We will support a continuation of the embargo until we see real political freedom in that nation once and for all." Could you please comment? Are you suggesting that we not improve relations with Cuba

Slick Mike: Well, first of all, I don't think I said that...

Interviewer: That's a direct quote, sir.

Slick Mike: Well, that's your view but I think you're missing the context here...

11. After trump broke the law to get established there?

Pence is a joker.

[Missn-Hitch]

12. LOL! Yeah right you Christofascist scumbag.

After the election, you are more than welcome to sign up for a tour of the White House though.

[dembotoz]

[sofa king]

16. See? That's the kind of stupid you can depend on.

Not unpredictable narcissistic coke-head track-suit and synthesizers stupid, just simple, Bible-thumpin' hayseed contrarianism.

"If President Obawma did it, it must be wrong." That's the kind of stupid Republicans have come to expect and demand.

[Vinca]

17. Why? Doing so makes no sense.

Pence better talk to "The Donald." No doubt the Trumpenfuhrer has big plans for a Havana hotel.
