WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is pushing to rename the street in front of the Cuban embassy for Oswaldo Payá, a political activist who fought against one-party communist rule of the island nation.
“Every communist thug that goes to the Cuban embassy will have to look and see the street sign in front of the embassy that says Oswaldo Payá Way,” Cruz said on his podcast earlier this year.
“Every person who wants to write to the embassy will have to write Oswaldo Payá's name,” he said. “Every person who wants to go visit the embassy has to get on their phone and Google, ‘What’s the address?’ And they will see Oswaldo Payá's name.”
