Selective outrage:
.
Republicans loudly protested President Barack Obama's historic detente with Cuba on Wednesday, arguing that diplomatic relations with a nation with a history of human rights abuses sets a bad precedent for U.S. interests around the world.
.
But ...
.
Of the 16 countries identified by a recent Freedom House report as the world's worst human rights abusers ... only four lack a U.S. diplomatic presence ...
.
One of those four being Cuba. And by the way, no word on where the U.S. ranks on that list.
