‘URGENT:’ Chip Roy Demands Probe Into Leftist Activist Groups After Their Leaders Meet With Cuban Communist Politburo

Tyler O'Neil is senior editor at The Daily Signal and the author of two books: "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center," and "The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government."

Rep. Chip Roy is demanding an “immediate” investigation into the leftist network of activist groups organizing protests against President Donald Trump’s intervention in Iran after some of the network’s leaders met with the Cuban Communist Party’s Politburo earlier this week.

“That this group would openly meet with Cuba tells you how urgent it is for the administration and state law enforcement entities, including attorneys general, to immediately investigate these groups and the myriad other groups that are clearly acting against our national security interests,” the Texas Republican told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Thursday.

Roy suggested that the network is “very clearly operating unlawfully in terms of their engagement with foreign interests.”

“They’re on the side of Iran, they’re on the side of Cuba, they’re on the side of anything opposing America, and they’re operating within our framework in our country,” he added. “The fact that they’re openly going and engaging and sitting down with Cuba… it just tells you how coordinated the entire network is.”

Vijay Prashad, executive director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, a hub of the activist network funded by Shanghai-based billionaire Neville Roy Singham, announced the Cuba meeting on X Tuesday.

“Last evening, the [International People’s Assembly] delegation spent several hours with leaders from the Cuban Communist Party Politburo, including the President of Cuba, the Foreign Minister, the no. 2 in the Party, and the head of the International Department,” Prashad wrote.

He further noted that he represented Tricontinental in the meeting, along with Manolo De Los Santos.

“We gave the President a number of our texts,” he added. “We had a very encouraging dialogue about the resilience of the Cuban Revolution and its untiring sense of fight against US hyper-imperialism.”

Santos, the founder of The People’s Forum, and Prashad form part of a network of leftist groups that includes Code Pink and the ANSWER Coalition. These groups organized protests against Trump’s ouster of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, and more recently against the attacks on Iran’s regime. The same groups also organized “anti-racism” protests after the 2020 death of George Floyd, and anti-Israel encampments after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.

“What we saw, out in the open, was a coordination between the Cuban leadership, including the president and the Politburo of the Cuban Communist Party, and the leaders of the groups that organize mayhem on our streets, over Gaza, ICE, Iran, whatever cause comes their way,” Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow for national security at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in a statement Thursday.

“Included in that meeting was Vijay Prashad, Neville Roy [Singham’s] top ideologue and a top leader of the International [Peoples’] Assembly, which was created in Caracas to defend Maduro and which includes CodePink, Manolo De Los Santos, also funded by Singham, a leader of the People’s Forum, and Brian Becker, who holds leadership positions in the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the ANSWER Coalition,” Gonzalez added. “All these groups organize chaos in our streets.”

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform voted in January to subpoena Singham, over his funding for activist groups and his ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

The Daily Signal reached out to Tricontinental, Code Pink, the ANSWER Coalition, and The People’s Forum for comment, but they did not respond by publication time.
