“But can you imagine the American citizen is being told, you cannot voluntarily travel to Cuba. You cannot go down there and enjoy a few days vacation or interact with your friends or families except once every 3 years, because they are a bad Communist country and Fidel Castro is a authoritarian dictator, and they persecute people of religious faith.

And yet we encourage this free trade with China. I think it is hypocritical. I do not think it is consistent. I think the American people should be asking, what kind of rationale or reason is behind such duplicitous policy and behavior?”
