Don'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.
