On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) said that she would like to see a resolution to the Castro regime like what happened in Venezuela but the situation in Cuba isn’t exactly the same “because we’ve got to take into consideration that Raul Castro is 95 years old” and therefore, his family is calling the shots and “I do think that the younger Castros need to be thinking really loud and clear what is it that they’re going to do with their father and themselves.

Thursday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said Republican lawmakers are upset President Donald Trump went after “respected senators” Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and John Cornyn (R-TX). Host Kasie Hunt said, “What do you think this anti-weaponization fund, as they are calling it, represents?” Bacon said, “This whole thing smells. You have the president, who is the plaintiff, but he’s also in charge of the defendants.

Markey said, “It’s an impeachable offense. What Richard Nixon was impeached for did he did in private, Donald Trump is now doing in public on steroids. This is a complete impeachable offense. That was the very thing our Founding Fathers were concerned about: ensuring that we had a president with checks and balances, not a king who could compromise our government. So this is exactly what the Founding Fathers, what the Constitution was meant to protect…
