On Monday, former South Carolina Governor and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley appeared on the Fox News segment America Reports to discuss the thousands of Cuban protestors who took to the streets to demand the end of their country’s communist regime.

While speaking to Sandra Smith, Haley explained her take on the protests, emphasizing that communism is to blame for the suffering of the Cuban people. 

“Let’s be very clear what the reasoning is for the suffering of the people of Cuba. It is because of communism, without question. It’s because of corruption. It’s because of the fact that any money that goes into Cuba goes to the regime and doesn’t go to the people,” Haley said in the segment. “These people are desperate for freedom. They’re crying out for freedom knowing they’re going in harm’s way.”

On Sunday, news broke that the protestors, dubbed by some as “Freedom Fighters,” stormed the streets of Havana and other smaller cities across the island chanting the word “freedom,” and other slogans, such as "no tenemos miedo," meaning “we are not afraid.” Some Freedom Fighters carried American flags through the streets during the political demonstration.

On Monday, Haley shared tweets to show her support of the protests.

It was reported that internet access in Cuba was cut off as a result of the protests, as the former ambassador noted. “When they’re crying out for freedom, they’re cutting off the internet so that no one else can see this,” Haley said in the segment. She also pointed out that some police officers are using tear gas and other methods to be aggressive toward the protestors.

“America needs to learn this lesson,” Haley said in the segment. “When you start getting money the government’s doling out, they eventually own you. And when they own you, people suffer. That’s what we don’t want. We’re seeing a mission creep of socialism from Bernie and the squad saying ‘let’s give money out by stimuluses and everything else.’ We will pay a huge price in our freedom if we allow this to continue.”
