For the can’t make this up if we tried file, the Obama administration is under fire after reports surfaced that a Hellfire air-to-ground missile somehow ended up Cuba:

How do you "mistakenly" ship a f***ing missile to Cuba? I'm struggling over the logistics of this. https://t.co/GgpKEetMaj

"You little people can't be trusted with guns," sneers the President who sent guns to Mexican drug lords, and a Hellfire missile to Cuba.

Maybe there’s a loophole that needs to be closed? Did Cuba get the missile from a straw buyer? The president should issue an executive order to prevent this in the future, or something:

It gets worse. We knew they had the missile and still normalized relations without getting it back:
#Cuba gets US Hellfire missile + refuses 2 return it, yet #POTUS still rewards regime @MarioDB @RepCurbelo @RepSires https://t.co/mdufEZjTTr

Reps Ros-Lehtinen/Díaz-Balart/Curbelo/Sires blast Admin for knowing Cuba had Hellfire missile technology since '14 & still normalized rtns

Exit question: Has President Obama tried a hashtag yet? #BringBackOurMissile might be just the threat needed to force Cuba to act!
