Two Congressional Progressive Caucus members visited Cuba last week while the House was in recess, sparking backlash from Republicans who viewed the trip as appeasing communism.
Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), “Squad” members who have been vocal about ending the United States economic embargo on the communist nation, visited Cuba in a group of about a dozen, including a staffer from Rep. Barbara Lee’s (D-CA) office.
