Miami Rep. Pushes Castro Killing in Video

Did she say it or didn’t she?

U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Miami) claims a video of her saying she welcomed the assassination of Fidel Castro is sliced and diced. The makers of the British documentary, 638 Ways to Kill Castro, say it’s not.

…the Havana-born lawmaker, recently tapped to become the top Republican on the House International Relations Committee, says the filmmakers spliced clips together to make the sound bite.

“It’s twisted in a way that gives the viewer a totally wrong impression,” Ros-Lehtinen told the Miami Herald. “I’ve said the community has moved on, that those strategies are not being used today, but apparently the filmmakers think we’re still in a ’60s mentality.”

Still, she said, it was possible she has, at some point, mentioned Castro’s potential assassination.

“If someone were to do it, I wouldn’t be crying,” she said.

Oops, she did it again!
