Crist’s Comments are Repulsive and Only Serve Interests of Castro Brothers

WASHINGTON — Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement:

"Charlie Crist's recent comments aboutthe Cuban-American community and U.S. policy are shameful. To suggest that current law, which is a measure of solidarity, is to blame for the prolonged Castro tyranny is repulsive and only serves the interests of the Castro brothers. While countless brave men and women in Cuba are being beaten and arrested for peacefully demanding freedom and democracy, Crist further insults the victims of that oppressive regime by wanting Florida business to provide it resources so that it continues its violent repression."
