It takes the death of a brutal left-wing dictator to re-align us back to our default ideological settings and remind us of who the good guys are – like Ted Cruz!
Here’s his short statement on the death of Fidel Castro:
Fidel Castro's death cannot bring back his thousands of victims, nor can it bring comfort to their families. https://t.co/LFHG66672k

HOUSTON, Texas — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement in reaction to the death of Fidel Castro:
“Fidel Castro’s death cannot bring back his thousands of victims, nor can it bring comfort to their families. Today we remember them and honor the brave souls who fought the lonely fight against the brutal Communist dictatorship he imposed on Cuba.”
Unlike Obama’s milquetoast statement that completely whitewashed over Fidel’s horrors, Cruz honors those who resisted.
Here’s Marco Rubio’s statement:
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement regarding the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro:
“Fidel Castro seized power promising to bring freedom and prosperity to Cuba, but his communist regime turned it into an impoverished island prison. Over six decades, millions of Cubans were forced to flee their own country, and those accused of opposing the regime were routinely jailed and even killed.
“Sadly, Fidel Castro’s death does not mean freedom for the Cuban people or justice for the democratic activists, religious leaders, and political opponents he and his brother have jailed and persecuted. The dictator has died, but the dictatorship has not. And one thing is clear, history will not absolve Fidel Castro; it will remember him as an evil, murderous dictator who inflicted misery and suffering on his own people.
“The future of Cuba ultimately remains in the hands of the Cuban people, and now more than ever Congress and the new administration must stand with them against their brutal rulers and support their struggle for freedom and basic human rights.”
“Now that Fidel Castro is dead, the cruelty and oppression of his regime should die with him. Sadly, much work remains to secure the freedom of the Cuban people, and the United States must be fully committed to that work. Today let us reflect on the memory and sacrifices of all those who have suffered under the Castros.”
Meanwhile, the Cuban exiles in Miami are rightfully celebrating…
