Yesterday people were leaving Cuba because they were opposed to the oppression and “mismanagement,” but today Psaki finally upped the language a bit:

Almost took @PressSec an entire week to acknowledge communism has failed Cuba (and everywhere else) https://t.co/aTbCCiYptO

You know that won’t sit well with some in DC:
Somewhere in DC, @AOC and @BernieSanders are PISSED!

Does that mean Psaki’s going to give up her hat?
