    Barbara Lee (D-CA) is a stupid house nigger anway. Just imagine the
    lack of intelligence of the voters who put this dumb bitch in
    political office.

    Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) threw out Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) from
    a committee hearing regarding U.S.-Cuba relations, saying she spread
    “communist propaganda.”

    On Thursday, the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee of the House Foreign
    Affairs Committee convened to discuss U.S. policy regarding Cuba.
    Salazar, who chairs the committee, has condemned Cuba over humanitarian
    abuses in the country.

    Lee, who is not a member of the subcommittee, attempted to speak during
    the meeting but was swiftly shut down by Salazar. The California
    lawmaker accused Salazar of silencing her in a way similar to what the
    Cuban government does to political dissidents.

    The confrontation led to a tense moment between Salazar and Lee, along
    with her Democratic allies. “I was just kicked out of a House Foreign
    Affairs Subcommittee hearing on Cuba policy because the Republican Chair
    didn’t like my views,” Lee wrote her followers on X, formerly known as
    Twitter, attached with a video of the meeting.

    “I’d share the livestream, but Republicans cut out the sound when I
    stood up to defend myself & call them out,” she added. Lee has
    previously called for normalized relationships with the government in
    Havana following the death of Fidel Castro.

    I was just kicked out of a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing on

    Salazar responded to Lee’s complaints online by stating she was thrown
    out for spreading “communist propaganda” by calling for peaceful
    relations with Cuba.

    “Today, I exercised my authority as Subcommittee Chairwoman to not allow
    an off-Committee Member to spread communist propaganda during my Cuba
    hearing,” Salazar wrote. “Members are not entitled to join any Committee proceedings without full consent of the Committee Members.”
