The Marxist Tupamaros kidnapped, tortured and killed US AID member Dan Mitrione in the 1970’s. They also bombed and assassinated everyone they thought would be an opponent.

The retribution they got, they earned.

This clown is still a marxist and we need to learn more about his wife. The wives of Marxist leaders are often more extreme communists than their husbands - Sachel’s wife, Mozambique; Ruth Slovo - KGB, So. Africa; Cheddi Jagan’s wife Rosenberg or Rosenthal - pure red; Trudeau’s wife in Canada - Margaret; Mao Tse-tong’s bitch, Chang?

This appalling. This guy should have been shot in the 70’s.

You are gay, Uruguay.

I wish the CIA would liquidate all these Latin American scumbag strongmen.
