Six months into what has quickly become the most partisan, chaotic and dysfunctional presidency in modern American history, some undeniable truths are starting to emerge. One is that, while the Biden administration can depend on their fellow travelers in the U.S. media to spin domestic news to their benefit, they are helpless when international events occur that expose this White House’s duplicity and incompetence. This was on display last month during Kamala Harris’s train wreck of a mission to Guatemala. She was greeted with protesters telling her to go home. The president of Guatemala called out the administration for worsening the border crisis, and Harris looked evasive and unserious when confronted with even softball questions by media allies. It is happening again as a result of recent events in the Caribbean. The president of Haiti was assassinated in his home, leading one of the poorest countries in the hemisphere into further instability. At the same time, citizens in Cuba rose up in perhaps the most public protests ever against the repressive, ossified communist regime that has been in power since 1959. It was a golden opportunity for an American president to support the Cuban people who are bravely standing up to tyranny. Instead we got the hapless, embattled Homeland Security Director Alejandro Mayorkas announcing that, while he supports the Cuban people, anyone from Cuba or Haiti attempting to sail the Straits of Florida to seek asylum in the U.S. would be sent back by the Coast Guard.
