Romulo Betancourt was a communist who helped put Fidel Castro in power.

And Romulo Betancourt was a communist. He had been since the 1920s. And he said, he said in the 1930s, I think around 1932, I am a communist now. I have always been a communist. I will always be a communist. But what happened when our State Department under John Foster Dulles, one of the founders of the Council on Foreign Relations, and his brother, Alan Dulles, who was head of the CIA at that time, they said, oh, we have to support Betancourt because he's an anti-communist.
