Bob Tis, St Augustine Record, has his head stuck up the late Fidel Castro’s ground temperature posterior.
Our Junior Senator loves to hate the Castros. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971 so this hate for the communists that hijacked his parent’s homeland was probably something he first encountered in his crib.

One of the greatest indignities that Fidel Castro cast upon the Cubans was limiting their freedom of speech to protect his socialist experiment.
But it was hardly surprising last week when Rubio tried to do the same thing to the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. Rubio blasted the young politician for suggesting that Fidel Castro was a “remarkable” leader.
Disagreeing with Junior Trudeau is not the same as imprisoning or even executing your dissents. Not that Tis would know as much, much acknowledge it.
I do think it is important to note that Fidel’s first attempt at public life was to run for Cuba’s National Assembly, a campaign that was going great until the heavily U.S.-funded dictator, Fulgencio Batista, shut down the Cuban electoral system. It was only then that the Castro brothers, Che Guevera and few dozen others settled on revolution as their chosen path.
Ok Castro attempts to gain political power through the front door and is stymied by some American tax dollars and one Cuban dicator. So Castro gains power and denies is fellow citizen any democratic right for sixty years. Making Batista evil does not magically make Castro good.
It might be lost on Rubio that his native country was founded by revolutionaries, as well
Revolutionaries who negotiated a peace treaty with Great Britain, established a constitution government, one which still conducting free elections, and something Cuba has not seen in over sixty years.
