Bob Menendez’s family (like Marco Rubio’s) emigrated under Fulgencio Batista, not Fidel Castro
Not seeing anything about the family’s wealth being confiscated, and not sure there was much to confiscate to begin with; they were a carpenter and seamstress respectively

Cuban American politicians seeking sympathy by claiming, or at least implying, that they were victims of Fidel Castro when they actually are the kids of parents who emigrated under Batista seems like some kind of moths to the flame situation
They can’t help themselves
@IndependentBuckRepublican8mos8MO
marco rubio also pulled the "my family fled castro communism!" grift awhile ago
@WelfareSadieConstitution8mos8MO
That’s what made me check
Ted Cruz promoted a podcast clip a while back (never have been able to track it down again) where he heavily implied that his dad fleeing was connected to Castro, but his dad was actually part of the 26 7 M and was tortured by Batista
