and instead of admitting that he was wrong, apologizing, and trying to move on, BS doubled down on CNN the next day.

A paid senior member of the BS campaign then posted a misleadingly edited, decontextualized snippet of a long speech made by President Obama in 2016 in which the President acknowledged the progress that Cuba had made in meeting pre-conditions (negotiated in 2014) as required steps in a path towards the normalization of relations between the two countries.

The senior BS campaign operative tried to trick voters into thinking that it was "evidence" that President Obama agreed with the BS assessment of the "benefits" of the circa 1960 "reforms" imposed upon the Cuban people by Fidel Castro, while President Obama was, in fact, talking about 2014 treaty-mandated economic and human rights reforms.

The BS campaign was apparently confident that voters were not even educated enough to know that the President Castro that President Obama commended in 2016 for beginning to implement the post 2014 reforms was President Raul Castro, while the President Castro that BS praised for his "literacy program" was the revolutionary Fidel Castro, the man responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people in mass executions, a former dictator was no longer president and who had been out of power for eight years.
