PUNTA GORDA, Fla.–Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted the Biden administration’s expanding flights to Cuba and loosening restrictions on U.S. travelers, saying it is a “slap in the face” to South Floridians who have had experience with “Marxist dictators.”
“You have people that (are) so badly oppressed that they would get on a raft and go 90 miles over shark-infested waters to be able to get to freedom,” DeSantis said. “You have people whose entire livelihoods were taken from them; their entire liberty was taken away from them, and they’ve come to South Florida.”
