New York Mayor Bill de Blasio became the latest presidential candidate to flash a little español this week when during a political rally Thursday he pulled out a Spanish phrase he thought might motivate workers striking at Miami International Airport.
But instead of endearing himself to South Florida’s Hispanic diaspora, an apparently unwitting de Blasio uttered a revolutionary rallying cry deeply associated with Fidel Castro’s Communist revolution and a man viewed by hundreds of thousands of Cuban exiles view as a sociopath and mass murderer.
In a gaffe that would force him to apologize, de Blasio quoted notorious Argentine revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara as he spoke Thursday in Terminal D to contract workers protesting poor pay and unsafe conditions. […]
Before giving up the microphone to the next speaker, he blurted a quote from one of the most hated historical figures throughout Miami: “Hasta la victoria, siempre.”
Behind de Blasio, the crowd cheered and didn’t seem fazed.

Spanish speaking communists, viva la Democrats.
Looks like the article has been pulled.
New York should be ashamed.
Isn’t that roughly the same as “Sieg, heil!” ?
Scroll down to the video!! This is hilarious & needs to go everywhere.
Are the Democrats running for President of Mexico?

¡Viva la Revolución!
Roughly, yes.
The older version, “Sieg und Heil”, translates to “victory and salvation” IIRC.
And his excuse is, he didn’t know!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I guess the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale.
The others are used feminine hygiene products in the punch bowl.
He acts like he didn't know, but does. Communism is his whole life.
Yes.
And Che is also Obama’s hero.
So we are talking about some really sick and twisted b@$tard$, IYKNIM
IYKWIM ........ sorry about that
