Cuban Protesters Wave American Flags While Demanding End to Communism
People of Cuba are rising up against their tyrannical communist dictatorship

As thousands of protesters flood the streets of Cuba to demand an end to their tyrannical communist dictatorship, Cubans are waving American flags as a symbol of freedom from communism.
Across the island nation on Sunday, Cubans started rising up in rarely seen protests to demand freedom from the communist regime.
Cubans protested their lack of freedom under the far-left Marxist regime, and did so while chanting “Liberty” and “Freedom.”
The protests were triggered by the impoverished conditions of the island along with the poor state of the socialized medical system leading to vaccine shortages and other healthcare crises.
One video that emerged on social media showed the protesters waving an American flag while chanting “Liberty!”
Giancarlo Sopo, a communication strategist who, according to the Federalist, once worked on President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, tweeted a video of protesters holding an American flag while they marched.

“This is deeply moving,” Sopo tweeted.
"Watch as Cubans wave the American flag while marching against the island’s 62 year-old communist dictatorship on the streets of Havana.
“Never forget what America represents to millions across the world.”

Florida Republicans quickly responded to the escalating situation and some called on the Biden administration to take immediate action.
"Florida supports the people of Cuba as they take to the streets against the tyrannical regime in Havana,” Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis wrote on Twitter.
"The Cuban dictatorship has repressed the people of Cuba for decades & is now trying to silence those who have the courage to speak out against its disastrous policies.”
"I am asking @POTUS @SecBlinken to call on members of the Cuban military to not fire on their own people,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) wrote on Twitter.
"The incompetent communist party of #Cuba cannot feed or protect the people from the virus.
"Now those in the military must defend the people not the communist party.”

The incompetent communist party of #Cuba cannot feed or protect the people from the virus.
Now those in the military must defend the people not the communist party.
"For over 6 decades, the despotic Castro regime in Cuba has deprived its people of life and economic liberty,” Florida Republican Lt. Governor Jeanette Nunez said.
"The images we are seeing from across the island are an outcry as shortages of basic necessities have become commonplace.
"As a Cuban-American, I stand in solidarity with the freedom-seeking people of Cuba calling for the end of the communist dictatorship.
"The Castro’s continued repression won’t keep the Cuban people from peacefully demanding their God-given rights.
"As Cubans risk everything in protest, Florida will continue to support out Cuban brothers and sisters who are fighting for freedom, democracy, and human rights.”

Miami Republican Mayor Francis Suarez wrote on Twitter: “The Cuban regime’s military police are shooting at unarmed Cuban protestors fighting for freedom.
"60 years of communism, cruelty, & oppression cannot last any longer!
"We are imploring the USA to take action as we peacefully demonstrate on the streets of Miami.”
"The courageous people of Cuba took to the streets determined to regain their freedom and demand the end of the dictatorship,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), the state’s former governor, tweeted.
"@RaulCastro_Ruz & @DiazCanelB the message is clear: The people of Cuba are not afraid, your time is up!”
"The Biden administration should quickly denounce any detention or violence toward peaceful protestors in Cuba,” he added.
"America & every freedom-loving nation must fully support the brave Cuban people in their calls for liberty & human dignity.
"The world is watching.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) also responded, writing on Twitter: “The Communist Cuban regime will be consigned to the dustbin of history.
"It has brutalized & denied freedom to generations of Cubans, and forced my family & so many others to flee.
"The American people stand squarely with the men & women of Cuba and their noble fight for liberty.”
