Sleepy Joe Biden has spent 47 years in politics being terrible to Hispanics. Now he is relying on Castro lover Bernie Sanders to help him out. That wont work! Remember, Miami Cubans gave me the highly honored Bay of Pigs Award for all I have done for our great Cuban Population!
I thought Bay of Pigs was the pool at Mar a Lago. P.S. you used the word sp*c to describe hispanics in your Apprentice days and let thousands die in Puerto Rico.

Noel Casler did talent logistics for NBC and worked on Celebrity Apprentice.

(115,661 posts)6. Since the Bay of Pigs invasion was a huge flop
and an embarrassment for the Kennedy Administration, an award named after it wouldn't seem to be much of a prize. And, in fact, there is no such award. CNN fact-checked the same claim last September:
He said that, before the 2016 election, Cubans in Miami "gave me the Bay of Pigs award. Can you imagine, right? The Bay of Pigs award." Trump got an endorsement from the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association, not an award. The endorsement was unprecedented from the association, so Trump could fairly boast about it. But still, an award and an endorsement are different things.
