As Twitchy told you, aspiring POTUS Bill de Blasio came under heavy fire today for using a famous Che Guevara quote to rally striking Miami airport employees. But we should all go easy on him, because he had no idea what he was doing:
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. I certainly apologize for not understanding that history. (1/2)

Heard it what way? The way de Blasio’s idol Che Guevara said it?
I only meant it as a literal message to the striking airport workers that I believed they would be victorious in their strike- BdB. (2/2)

FFS, how did he not know? Did he just pick it out of thin air? De Blasio is so horrible. Cannot stand him. https://t.co/ODkByxcl3b

"I mean, if someone had told me that quoting Che Guevara in Miami was frowned upon…." https://t.co/N55h7bczUO

"anyone who heard it that way" is a good way to shift the blame to the offended from the offender

Make sure you’ve got popcorn.
Miami Cubans are a forgiving lot but to them you've just proven how much of an insular white man you really are. https://t.co/iHctShBCjp
