Ros-Lehtinen Says Latest "Insult' From Castro Actually a "Badge of Honor'

Statement

Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) commented today on recent remarks by Fidel Castro calling her "la Loba Feroz" (Ferocious She Wolf) and attacking her for her outspoken leadership against the tyrannical regime in Havana. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen:

"I suppose the Cuban dictator thinks he is insulting me, but when he singles me out for criticism for my outspoken opposition to the Havana tyranny, it reaffirms my commitment to expose the regime's merciless brutality and work toward crippling its power.

"In his latest "Reflections' diatribe, which is his weekly column published in Cuba's state-owned newspaper, the tyrant again referred to me as "la Loba Feroz' attempting to paint my work to advance democracy and promote human rights as radical. The fact that he is taking offense to my policies in Washington tells me that I am doing my job right.

"The day that Castro stops hurling insults at freedom-loving individuals will be a great day for Cuba, because that will mean that the regime is no more."
