In a softball interview with Secretary of State John Kerry aired on her MSNBC show on Tuesday, host Andrea Mitchell was in awe of Kerry meeting with the Cuban foreign minister on Monday following the reopening of the Communist nation’s embassy in Washington: “The first time since 1958 a Cuban foreign minister was here in this building....Did you have a sense of history?

Kerry replied: “Absolutely, we both had a sense of history, and we shared it and we both understand this is an historic moment....I mean, it’s an extraordinary period of time....and I think we both understand the importance of it to our countries and to the region.”
