The eyes of the world are on this airport, the eyes of the world are on Miami-Dade,” de Blasio told the workers, before ending with, “Hasta la victoria, siempre.”
The phrase translates to “Ever on to victory!” and was a mantra for Guevara, one of Fidel Castro’s top lieutenants.
That did not sit well in Miami, a hub for anti-Castro Cuban exiles.
Local politicians, including Florida state Sen. Jose Javier Rodríguez, called on Hizzoner to apologize.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio also ripped de Blasio for the bone headed choice of phrase.
“I did not know the phrase I used in Miami today was associated with Che Guevara & I did not mean to offend anyone who heard it that way,” he tweeted.
“I certainly apologize for not understanding that history. I only meant it as a literal message to the striking airport workers that I believed they would be victorious in their strike.”
De Blasio, who honeymooned in Havana and traveled to Nicaragua in 1988 to support the Sandinistas, also appeared on CNN where he claimed ignorance.

.............. Liberals really do not know what the nature and origin of their demigods are.
Lol, AMF. The first word being adios ;-)
Ever notice that Communist pigs like Che Guevara are romanticized and fawned over? If Nazism and Fascism are reviled, as well as they should, then Communists deserved to be scorned too. Because Communists have killed far more people than all of the world’s wars in history combined.
Adios mutha f***er!
Doesn’t mother ####ing play on Staten Island.
Unless you want to leave on a stretcher.
We’re part of the city BTW.
