Democrat de Blasio apologizes for Che Guevara phrase in Miami

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Bill de Blasio apologised on Thursday for unwittingly quoting Ernesto "Che" Guevara, a Marxist revolutionary reviled by many Cuban-Americans for helping Fidel Castro come to power in Cuba. The New York City mayor, fresh off a solid showing in Wednesday night's Democratic debate, used the Spanish phrase "hasta la victoria siempre" ("to victory, always") in Miami as he addressed striking airport workers, who cheered him heartily.
