Fidel Castro died this week, much to the pleasure of thousands of Cuban Americans who fled the communist dictator’s rule. But not everyone in the United States is happy that the man who impoverished Cuba has passed away. Many on the left have begun mourning the totalitarian leader in the days following his death.
Those with personal connections to Cuba tend to see Castro for who he was, a brutal tyrant. Marco Rubio, whose family fled Cuba before he was born, called Castro “an evil, murderous dictator who inflicted misery and suffering on his own people.”
It’s an apt description for the man who denied his people freedoms of speech, press, and assembly. Those who did have the nerve to stand up to Castro found themselves either imprisoned or executed.
But none of that seems to matter to the left. They’re still grieving the loss of a man many of them consider to be a transformative leader.
See how one liberal congresswoman praised Fidel Castro on the next page:
Proof that liberal politicians are STILL out of touch with Americans. Their party continues to be a failure.
Mourn that he died in his sleep and not shot a long time ago!
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
Hey Congresswoman…
Fruitbat!!!!
How do these stupid people get into office?
He’s a monster like$#%&!@*
There is no loss here. Not many of the thousands of families he has destroyed would agree with that. He is one evil man that should have met his maker decades ago.
How do we get these idiots in our government
Another politician that flunked history
