I remember Elinor Roosevelt and her liberal cronies raising money to send tractors to Cuba as a good will gesture and peace offering to Castro and his henchmen. Liberals were always commie pawns.

***to send tractors to Cuba as a good will gesture***

I don’t believe it was a “good will” gesture. Back then Castro demanded 500 tractors as a ransom for the men captured in the Bay of Pigs Invasion that Kennedy promised, then reneged on supplying air cover for the invasion.

The photos of the “tractors” turned out to be Bulldozers, not farm tractors.
