Cuban-American businessman Maximo Alvarez, who came to the U.S. alone as a child under Operation Peter Pan, warned the audience at the Republican National Convention (RNC) Monday that the promises and mob violence characterizing the modern left remind him of the nation he fled.
"I'm speaking to you today because I've seen people like this before. I've seen movements like this before. I've seen ideas like this before and I'm here to tell you, we cannot let them take over our country," Alvarez asserted, referring both to Democrat Party presidential nominee Joe Biden and to the socialist faction of the party that largely supported rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
The businessman - founder of Sunshine Gasoline Distributors in Florida - specifically cited the "defund the police" movement and calls for universal health care and other socialist policies as "echoes" of the vows Fidel Castro made before seizing power in Cuba.
"Those false promises - spread the wealth, defund the police, trust a socialist state more than your family and your community - they don't sound radical to my ears. They sound familiar," he continued. "When Fidel Castro was asked if he was a communist, he said he was a Roman Catholic. He knew he had to hide the truth. But the country I was born in is gone, totally destroyed." ...
When asked if he was a Communist, Fidel Castro would answer, "I am a Roman Catholic." Yeah, that's the same BS answer that Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and the Cuomo brothers respond with, too.
