Ryan: Obama’s Cuba Trip ‘Legitimizes a Tyrannical Dictatorship’

(CNSNews) – During a press conference today about the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Belgium, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) said he did not think much of President Barack Obama’s trip to Communist Cuba, which, he added, only “legitimizes a tyrannical dictatorship.”

At the Capitol Hill press conference, a reporter asked Ryan, “What do you think of the president’s trip to Cuba?”

Speaker Ryan said, “Not much. I think it’s fairly ironic. We had the AIPAC [American Israeli Political Action Committee] conference yesterday. We were talking about standing up with our allies, standing up for freedom, standing up for national security.”

“And the president takes a trip to Cuba where he effectively gets nothing in return, and he legitimizes a tyrannical dictatorship,” said Ryan. “The irony was not lost on me.”
