And you have to ask yourselves, with what you saw here yesterday,
if this is how Cuban officials behave
on the world stage before diplomats and cameras,
imagine what they do to ordinary Cubans behind closed doors.
Well, we know because the regime today
is holding 800 political prisoners.
And actually, don't even imagine,
turn around and you'll see some of those political prisoners
who thankfully have been freed now.
They're sitting right here.
Please, turn around and look at them as you take this vote.
Do not stand with this regime.
History will remember the vote.
They will remember you casting this vote
and the abuses that it allows the regime to put on its own people.
Vote no on this resolution.
Stand with the Cuban people.
Cuba Libre.
