The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution denouncing the "horrors of socialism" with a bipartisan vote of 285-98, ahead of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s scheduled meeting with President Trump at the White House. Introduced by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), whose parents fled Cuba after Fidel Castro's rise to power, the resolution condemned socialist policies, citing historical examples of failures in regimes like those of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. While most Republicans supported the resolution, all "no" votes came from Democrats, including high-profile figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, who identify with socialism.

00:29Madam Waters, for decades you traveled to Cuba dozens of times to visit Fidel Castro personally, whom you consider your friend.
00:40Congresswoman Waters was in Havana and she saw the destruction of biblical proportions that Castro cost on that island,
00:48who at the time in 1960 had the highest per capita income in the Western Hemisphere.
00:53At that time, Madam Waters knew that thousands and thousands of Cubans were escaping on a raft, exposing their lives and their children to be eaten by the sharks.
01:06She knew that Afro-Cubans were being beaten on the streets of Havana, discriminated against by Fidel Castro, Mr. Speaker.
01:17And for that reason, I am bringing up all these facts because Madam Waters knew that the Cuban jails were full of political prisoners
01:26and the Cubans did not have the same privileges that we are having right now to speak freely.
01:34At that time, Madam Waters never raised her voice.
01:38So thank you for joining us.
02:31Play by the rules, you can succeed.
02:36And that only happens in a country where you have freedom, where you have liberty, where you have self-determination, and you have the free market.
