    Self hate right here. His parents were cuban immigrants. 🙄

    ~If not self hate, then a serious lack of self intestinal fortitude. Either way…~

      His parents left Cuba because they didn’t like Castro. Most Cubans that came to the US were anti-communist. I guess I can understand that, but now Rubio is using the US military and our tax money to intervene in Cuba for what are mostly reasons that are personal to him and his family history.

      Most of the hardline anti-Castro people in the US are, I think, Cuban-American. That’s typically the reason that they’re in the US.

      I don’t know if that’s a factor for Rubio in particular, but “person with Cuban background living in the US who is very unhappy with the Castro regime” is not an oddity.
