House Democrat Ejected from Cuba Policy Hearing for Alleged 'Communist Propaganda'

Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar accuses Rep. Barbara Lee of spreading propaganda during a contentious hearing on Cuba's emerging private sector.

Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL) kicked Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) out of a House committee hearing about relations between the United States and Cuba, accusing Lee of spreading 'communist propaganda'.
Lee attended the hearing of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which she is not a member of, and tried to speak on restoring ties between the two countries.
Salazar, a Cuban American from Miami, denied a request from the subcommittee's ranking member, Texas Democrat Joaquin Castro, to allow Lee's admittance.
Lee has been working to normalize relations with Cuba, fixed in her belief that the U.S. should lift the embargo on the Caribbean island.
The hearing was about Cuba’s emerging private sector, with Salazar leading the charge against the enterprises, calling them 'a government ruse.'
