Florida Should Never Allow Itself to be Governed by Castro Worshippers Like Crist and Hernandez

Last weekend, Democrat Charlie Crist, winner in the Democratic primary to dispute Ron DeSantis for the Florida governorship, announced who would be his running mate in November and finally ended up opting for Karla Hernandez, president of the Miami-Dade teachers union, a figure very close to Randi Weingarten, promoter of school closures, child indoctrination, and what is worse, a worshipper of the Castro regime.

It was 2016 when Fidel Castro, the tyrant who for decades subjugated millions of Cubans and whose regime is still in power, finally passed away.

The news was a relief for hundreds of thousands of victims of the socialist regime inside and outside the island. However, while the world breathed a sigh of relief at the departure of one of the greatest criminals in history, Crist’s running mate wrote on Twitter:

“Political figure dies at 90. Most in Miami rejoice. Many in Cuba mourn #FidelCastro.”

Florida is home to more than a million Cubans, who were forced to migrate from the island, many of them on rafts, risking their lives, just to escape the tortures of Castroism, and yet, according to Karla Hernandez, who now aspires to govern the state of Florida alongside Crist, Cubans mourned Fidel’s departure.

Charlie Crist does not lag behind in his attempts to make nice with the regime. In 2019, Bruno Rodriguez, chancellor of the Cuban regime and main spokesman of the totalitarian regime, published a photo next to the now Democratic candidate for Governor of Florida, in which both smiled and assured that they were working to strengthen bilateral relations.

It is no secret that in recent decades the Democrats have flirted with the Cuban regime and that the Obama Administration, with Joe Biden as Vice President, did everything possible to wash the face of Castroism, reestablishing relations, dismantling sanctions, and allowing the proliferation of financing channels for the dictatorship. However, it is one thing at the federal level for the Democrats in power to try to make amends with the Cuban tyranny and quite another to allow Florida, at the state level, the home of refuge for Cubans who escaped socialism, to become another institution at the mercy of Cuba.

In recent years, after the arrival of Biden to power and the widening of restrictive policies in the name of “health,” Florida became the trench of freedom lovers and the model for the whole nation to follow.

The greatest failure in Florida’s history would be to go from being the bastion of freedom to a state that idolizes and mingles with the Castro regime. Cubans cannot allow this, Latinos cannot allow this, and no Floridian who values their freedoms should conceive this.
