Cuba's First Lady Reacts!
This is Lis Cuesta and her husband Miguel Diaz-Canel...the First Lady and President of Cuba.
As First Lady, Lis Cuesta is well-liked by Cubans on the island and she takes her role in the limelight seriously. Above she was hosting a First Lady from a friendly foreign country, Spain's Queen Letizia.
For sure, Lis Cuesta deeply loves her husband, Miguel Diaz-Canel. Very active on social media, Lis posted this photo on Facebook with the reminder to everyone that Miguel is the "dictator of my heart." She, as she has done before, was mocking what she calls the "Fake News Cuban journalists in Miami who mock Cubans on island about their getting the U. S. government to starve Cuban families in Cuba while making Cubans in Miami very rich, much like Cubans in Havana and U. S. businessmen got rich when the U. S. and the Mafia supported the Batista dictatorship till the Cuban Revolution in 1959 chased them back to Miami." Of course, such words...and social media photos like the one above...by Cuba's feisty First Lady taunt the so-called fake news Cuban journalists in Miami.
Very quickly, Miami responded to Lis Cuesta's bait, or taunt. Fabiola Santiago was born in Cuba but for decades she has worked for the Miami Herald as a reporter and as a longtime Opinion/Editorial superstar specializing in demeaning the Bad Cubans in Cuba while loudly championing the Good Cubans in Miami. In Cuba the island's First Lady, Lis Cuesta, has grown a bit tired of reading the constant diatribes from the likes of Fabiola Santiago. Therefore, Lis grinned when she read Fabiola's article about Lis calling Miguel "the dictator of my heart." Lis was actually mocking the low approval ratings of "the last two U. S. presidents {Trump and Biden} that compare so weakly against the high approval rating Miguel has with most Cubans on this island, not just me. Maybe one day the U. S. can elect a President with such a high approval rating, but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen!!"
And...this was the massive headline/article/editorial in the Miami Herald that Cuban-born Fabiola Santiago was provoked into writing after she read Lis Cuesta's photo/comment about "the dictator of my heart." Needless to say, Fabiola took the opportunity to write some more mean things about the love of Lis's life that Lis says most of the other Cubans on the island also love deeply. After reading Fabiola's editorial about President Diaz-Canel's "swooning wife," Lis fired off another jab at Miami's fake news Cuban "'journalists' whose lies might make for big bank accounts in Miami but I believe that I sleep better and more truthfully at night than Fabiola does. You see, Fabiola is supported by the money and the force of a superpower nation, but I am supported by a great man who happens to be my husband."
