Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Democrat from Washington state, appears to have admitted on camera that she’s been coordinating with foreign governments to supply oil to Cuba — directly subverting U.S. sanctions and foreign policy. When they tell you who they are, believe them. Especially when they do it on video.

A sitting United States congresswoman. Casually describing how she worked with foreign ambassadors to undermine her own government’s policy toward a hostile communist regime. And she said it like she was describing her lunch order.

According to Not the Bee, Jayapal made statements that have set the internet on fire. Here’s what she said: “I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places and I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to get oil there…” There. To Cuba. She’s describing a supply chain operation to circumvent American sanctions, and she’s doing it in the first person.

But wait — it gets better. Jayapal didn’t just admit to playing shadow diplomat. She went full moral high ground about it. She called U.S. sanctions on Cuba “an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba.” Her exact words: “I have called these sanctions an economic bombing of the infrastructure of Cuba. It is illegal … to bomb the infrastructure of any country, it’s against international law.”

Let that sink in. She’s comparing American economic sanctions — a standard tool of foreign policy used by every administration — to bombing. And she’s claiming it’s illegal under international law. Which, to be clear, it isn’t. Sanctions aren’t bombs. But in Jayapal’s world, enforcing American foreign policy is a war crime, and coordinating with Mexico and Latin American countries to funnel oil to a communist dictatorship is apparently just good citizenship.

Now, some of you might be thinking about the Logan Act — that dusty old law that says private citizens can’t negotiate with foreign governments to undermine U.S. policy. Democrats sure loved talking about it when they were trying to nail Michael Flynn. Funny how that works. The Logan Act is the most important law in America when a Republican talks to a foreign ambassador during a transition, but when a Democrat literally describes coordinating with multiple foreign governments to subvert active sanctions? Crickets.

The sanctions on Cuba exist because Cuba is a communist dictatorship with a decades-long track record of oppressing its own people, jailing dissidents, and cozying up to every enemy of the United States on the planet. Trump’s Cuba sanctions specifically tightened the screws on a regime that has done nothing to earn relief. But Jayapal apparently decided that American foreign policy was just a suggestion — one she could override with a few phone calls to friendly ambassadors.

This isn’t a policy disagreement. Policy disagreements happen on the House floor, in committee hearings, through legislation. What Jayapal is describing is a sitting member of Congress conducting her own parallel foreign policy with foreign nations to actively undermine the elected government’s position. There’s a word for that, and it’s not “diplomacy.”

The most stunning part isn’t that she did it. It’s that she said it out loud. On the record. Like it was perfectly normal. Like a congresswoman calling up foreign ambassadors to strategize about how to get around American sanctions is just Tuesday.

We have 535 members of Congress. They are elected to legislate, not to run freelance foreign policy operations with Mexico on behalf of communist Cuba. Someone might want to remind Rep. Jayapal which country she actually represents.
