No. Gore was running for POTUS and even he tried to disassociate himself from Clinton Administration on this one. people thought this was terrible. Court ruled since his mother died getting him over here, he had to be with his father.
Absurd ruling since there are no parental rights in Cuba. The father had no free speech to express his wishes, and the child did not grow up under his auspices once returned to Castro, his property owner (who saw to it personally he received the full Marxist brainwashing and destruction of Elian’s soul). The single most evil thing the corrupt regime of Clinton ever did, and for which cost Gore the election.
