Some red-baiting...
Yet, there is something disturbing about his reticence: De Blasio did
nothing wrong in Nicaragua. Some would even describe him and other
activists of that period as heroic fighters for peace. He should not run
away from this aspect of his record, when he might very well say:
Yes, I worked against the contra war and I'm proud to have done so
because that war was wrong. Did I turn a blind eye to the excesses of
the Sandinistas? Maybe, and I regret that. But I saw poor people being
killed and made to suffer because of decisions made in Washington, and I
used my rights as an American to oppose that policy in a legal way.
