New Spanish-Language Radio Ad In FL-27: Donna Shalala Should Be Ashamed

Shalala’s ally called for Castro’s death to be mourned, pressured President Obama to oppose sanctions on the Maduro regime in Venezuela

WASHINGTON – Congressional Leadership Fund (@CLFSuperPAC), the super PAC endorsed by House Republican leadership, today released a new radio ad, “Castro,” in Florida’s 27th Congressional District. The Spanish-language ad details Donna Shalala’s eagerness to campaign with political ally Barbara Lee who said Fidel Castro’s death should be mourned and lobbied President Obama to oppose sanctions on the Maduro regime in Venezuela. The radio ad will run in the Miami media market.

“As her underperforming campaign continues to struggle, it’s become crystal clear that Donna Shalala just doesn’t understand the Miami community and the 27th district,” said Courtney Alexander, CLF Communications Director. “This week, Shalala even associated with a Congresswoman who praised Fidel Castro and defended the ruthless regime in Venezuela. This is a slap in the face to the exiles in Miami – south Florida voters deserve better than Donna Shalala.”

Listen to the ad, “Castro,” here. 

SCRIPT 

VO: Donna Shalala is not from Miami…
…she doesn’t speak Spanish…
…and she doesn’t understand our community. 

VO: Donna Shalala no es para Miami…
…no habla español…
…y no entiende a nuestra comunidad

Why else would Shalala want to campaign with a Congresswoman who praised Castro and defended the ruthless regime in Venezuela?

Por qué quiere Shalala hacer campaña con una congresista que habló bien de Castro y defendió el despiadado régimen de Venezuela?

Donna Shalala promoted an event on her web site with Congresswoman Barbara Lee. 

Donna Shalala promovío un evento en su página web con la congresista Barbara Lee. 

Congresswoman Lee said Castro’s death should be mourned…
…giving respect to his brutal dictatorship and human rights abuses.

La Congresista Lee dijo que había que lamentar la muerte de Castro…
…dando valor a la cruel dictadura y permitiendo el abuso a los derechos humanos.

Donna Shalala’s political ally Barbara Lee even lobbied President Obama to oppose sanctions on Maduro’s regime in Venezuela. 

La aliada política de Donna Shalala, Barbara Lee, incluso abogó para que el Presidente Obama se opusiera a las sanciones al régimen de Maduro en Venezuela. 

It’s outrageous. 

Es indignante.

Defending Castro and Maduro is offensive to the political prisoners…
…and a slap in the face to the exiles in Miami. 

Defender a Castro y a Maduro es ofensivo para los prisioneros politicos..
…y una bofetada en la cara a los exiliados en Miami 

Donna Shalala should be ashamed.
She shouldn’t be our congresswoman.

Shalala debería estar avergonzada
Ella no debería ser nuestra congresista.
