Mike Pence actually said...

"Those who try to romanticize Fidel Castro's rule of Cuba are simply fooling themselves."

"The goal of this administration has been reach out to our enemies, turn our back on our friends and allies."

"I think pressing for democracy, human rights, a market economy and the choices for our country in a post-Castro Cuba seem to be important for the subcommittee to consider."

"I think this is a mistake. It tells the Cuban dictatorship that it need not change to be accepted throughout the hemisphere."
