From the Boston Herald:
Newt: ‘Under no circumstance’ should Obama, Biden go to Castro’s funeral
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich asserted yesterday that “under no circumstance” should President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, or Secretary of State John F. Kerry attend Fidel Castro’s funeral and admonished anyone who was honoring the death of former Cuban president.
“Under no circumstance should President Obama or VP Biden or Secstate Kerry go to Cuba for Castro’s funeral,” Gingrich, who serves as an adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, wrote in a Twitter post, adding, “He was a tyrant.”
In an earlier tweet, Gingrich labeled Castro a “relentless dictator who imprisoned thousands (and) killed and tortured many Cubans” and went on to say, “the outpouring of praise for Fidel Castro is tragic ... Build a list of those praising Castro and you will have a list of leftists who reject reality for an ideological fantasy.”
And meanwhile in Miami - from Yahoo / Agence France Presse:
Miami parties a second night over Fidel Castro's death
Neither rain nor fatigue drained the energy of Cuban-Americans in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood who spent a second night celebrating the death of their archenemy Fidel Castro.
The dancing and singing continued into early Sunday, well after crowds first spilled into the streets to celebrate as news of the 90-year-old revolutionary leader's death in Cuba was announced on Friday.
Some two million Cubans live in the United States, nearly 70 percent of them in Florida. The vast majority of those live in Miami.
The revelry went on all day Saturday and continued into the night.
"I'm not tired of celebrating because I can't believe it, I never thought that this moment would arrive," said a woman named Delsy who celebrated with a large crowd outside the Cafe Versailles, where exiles met for decades to plot the overthrow of the Castro regime.
Among the cacophony of car horns, drums, loud music and singing, a chant rang out: "Fidel, you tyrant, take your brother too!"
Good riddance to evil scum. And to all of those braqin-dead ninnies who venerate him.
