'How did he not know?' Raise your hand if you buy Bill de Blasio's explanation for quoting Che Guevara in Miami

As Twitchy told you, aspiring POTUS Bill de Blasio came under heavy fire today for using a famous Che Guevara quote to rally striking Miami airport employees. But we should all go easy on him, because he had no idea what he was doing:

I did not know the phrase I used in Miami today was associated with Che Guevara & I did not mean to offend anyone who heard it that way. I certainly apologize for not understanding that history. (1/2)

Heard it what way? The way de Blasio’s idol Che Guevara said it?

I only meant it as a literal message to the striking airport workers that I believed they would be victorious in their strike- BdB. (2/2)

FFS, how did he not know? Did he just pick it out of thin air? De Blasio is so horrible. Cannot stand him. https://t.co/ODkByxcl3b
