As thousands of Cuban Americans marched in Washington Monday to call for the U.S. to put more pressure on Cuba’s government, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani came to Miami to denounce Cuba’s communist regime. He spoke to a small group of people outside of Versailles Restaurant in Little Havana.

The protests in Washington and Giuliani’s rally-turned-news-conference were held on July 26, which marks 68 years since Fidel Castro led his first attack against Batista’s government in Cuba and began his revolution. July 26 is a national holiday in Cuba.

In Miami, about 10 people carrying Cuban flags and wearing shirts and caps with slogans such as “Patria y Vida” and “Cuba SOS,” were outside of the iconic Cuban restaurant Monday morning as horn-honking cars drove by in support. About a dozen police patrols lined the street and set up an impromptu watch tower in the Versailles parking lot.

Giuliani, also the former mayor of New York City, entered the restaurant at about 9 a.m. and did not come out until about 12:30 p.m. to give his remarks in a short, improvised press conference under a scorching sun. He spoke to a group of about 15 people surrounding him, including five protesters who were there since the morning and stood near him. Some of the people waiting to be seated in the restaurant for lunch also walked closer and listened in.

But, judging from the makeup of rudy's "crowd," they're there just because of dear leader.

[marble falls]

18. So, what was the "Bay of Pigs Generation"?

[PoliticAverse]

2. "Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came" n/t

[keithbvadu2]

Would make his speech more interesting.

5. Notice the woman with the "Trump Won" pocketbook.

Dumb shits flee Cuba to escape one dictator and are ready to welcome another as their leader with open arms.

[ret5hd]

7. They weren't fleeing a dictator so much as...

fleeing the overthrow of THEIR dictator.

[PSPS]

11. Exactly. They salivate to go back in time to the Batista nightmare.

Batista's excesses are what gave birth to Castro's revolution.

[rickyhall]

8. Go away Ghoul, you're so last year.

[2naSalit]

9. That's all that he could afford, ten people.

And I wonder who he got that money from. His kid's campaign fund?

[hatrack]

12. Did he speak at Paisajismo Total Four Seasons?

[Bristlecone]

13. No doubt appeared for the "all you can drink Mojitos" retainer.

Little did the people of Miami know his mojito record is 78 in a 24 hr period.
