Missed this some days back, but this is quite the column on some recent local shenanigans: #storylink=mainstage">https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article237617049.html #storylink=mainstage">https://www.miamiherald.com/news/loca...

Don& #39;t get me wrong, the restoring CFRP bill continues be a very timid effort at pushback against bilateral deterioration from local D congresswomen, all things considered.

A vote in favor of this bill locally would have been symbolic nothing more.

But for R city officials to decry influence of "D.C. politics" in local affairs, and call foreign policy not part of their remit—on a matter of Cuba policy no less—is rather rich.

These are the same folks, after all, who recently declared a Cuban singer "persona non-grata," have openly celebrated the Trump reversal of normalization, and who have passed resolutions condemning "cultural exchange," as if Miami City Hall was a wing of the Dept. of State.

Also, here it is, the heretofore implicit made explicit: Cuban-American political leaders support closing the very door through which they or their parents once walked.
