You lost Florida and the election because the Clinton administration sent a Cuban boy back to Fidel Castro’s Cuba.
“González’s mother, Elizabeth Brotons Rodríguez, drowned in November 1999 while attempting to leave Cuba with González and her boyfriend to get to the United States. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) initially placed González with paternal relatives in Miami, who sought to keep him in the United States against his father’s demands that González be returned to Cuba.”
“After the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, by order of U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, federal agents took González from the paternal relatives and returned him to his father in Cuba in June 2000.”

I was living in Tennessee at the time. That was a big deal.
What an understatement. That was pure fascism. I was ashamed of our government that day. And Jackboot Janet thought she could be elected governor of Florida.
The mediots promptly showed us happy smiling pictures of Elian.
against his fathers demands that González be returned to Cuba.
Yes, and he did it of his own free will(which does not exist in Cuba) while his parents were on a state paid vacation(imprisoned) in a gated compound.
