"the United States policy toward Cuba over the last 60 years has resulted in no tangible proof that these policies move the needle on democratic progress."

"I'm outraged that Chair Salazar has taken the unprecedented step of objecting to me participating in this discussion."

"Do we really want to exacerbate a situation where life in Cuba is so unbearable that people will risk their lives to leave?"
