April 6, 2026 Press Release MIAMI, FL - Today, Congressman Carlos A. Giménez (R-FL-28) issued the following regarding the recent travel of U.S. Representatives Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) to Cuba to meet with officials of the island's Communist regime.Congressman Carlos A. Gimenez said, "Here is the difference between Democrats and Republicans: While Democrats go to Cuba to meet leaders of a Communist, anti-democratic dictatorship, Republicans support the people in their quest for a free and democratic Cuba. As the only member of Congress actually born in Cuba, I say shame on you to Representative Pramila Jayapal and representative Jonathan Jackson for supporting this repressive and brutal regime. As supposed defenders of democracy, your hypocrisy knows no bounds." ###
