In Miami, Spanish-language ad by Jeb Bush operatives likens the president to Castro

[RandySF]

A group of political operatives with ties to former Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush pledged a month ago to “surgically target” small groups of voters around the state to help Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Part of that strategy includes running TV ads focused on reaching Latino voters in Miami-Dade County.

Republican Voters Against Trump, an anti-Donald Trump super PAC, will begin airing a TV ad on Tuesday in Spanish that compares the president to Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Russian President Vladimir Putin and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

“Dictators. Communists. Enemies of freedom and America, but friends of Donald Trump,” the ad says, while playing images of violence in Venezuela and Trump’s meeting with Kim Jong Un. “Remember, dictators lie to you first and then ruin lives to get whatever they want.”

The strategy of trying to draw parallels between Trump and authoritarian leaders is one that the Republicans have also attempted against Democrats, including trying to tie Biden to Maduro by using a photo of the two greeting each other at former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff’s swearing-in ceremony in 2015.

1. Very nice

It is a far more accurate representation in many ways.

2. Great! Jeb knows FL politics..happy to have all the help we can get

[tblue37]

14. Not Jeb, but people who used to work for his campaign.

3. This might just put us over the top

I-4 corridor has been looking good. If we can peel away just a bit of the Cuban and Venezuelan vote in Miami Dade that should do it.

4. Except Castro was a nicer person than Trump.

11. Castro got medical care to everyone.

Maybe not the best, but basic medical care for everyone.
And he exported doctors to countries that needed basic medical care in sort of a Peace Corps type of program.

[iemitsu]

15. He did do those things.

And with no help from us.

5. Man

People who have met Trump really can't stand the guy.

Jeb Bush is now trying to win Florida for Joe Biden lol. This is a wild time to be alive.

[Hekate]

6. Psst. Donald: people really, really despise you.

Thank you, Jeb. At least your family has a concept of public service and understands what governing is.

[JI7]

7. I'm surprised there are Jeb Bush Operatives but this seems like they are doing what they should

have done during the 2016 primaries.

[NBachers]

8. I've been wondering if Jeb or Junior would make their feelings known.

I know my Miami Cuban sister-in-law, who describes herself as "so far to the right that I'm going to fall off," despises trump, and is a committed and vocal Biden voter. In my family of far-left liberals, this is a welcome turn of affairs.

9. Jeb!

Thank you!

[SunSeeker]

10. Wow. Good job Jeb!

[sop]

12. Jeb really understands what motivates Miami's Cuban-American anti-Castro Republicans.

This is going to sway a lot of voters.

13. Oh snap! all you have to do to get Cubans in a twist is to equate someone to Castro

Dealing with a russian communist? check. job done happy days...
