CNN's Marc Lamont Hill is the gift that keeps on giving. Yesterday, TruthRevolt reported his belief that the "myth" of the self-made man/person is "the greatest lie in American history." And today, Hill posts a picture of female Cuban soldiers in celebration of Veterans Day and then deletes it when he suddenly "realized" his error.
Luckily, Twitchy screen-captured his Instagram post before he took it down. This is the picture that clearly shows non-American females in uniforms that look nothing like any American soldier has ever worn:
He was called out on Twitter:
Yeah, realized it on his own.
It appears that the Reuters photo is from 2011 during a military parade in Havana's Revolution Square celebrating "the defeat of the CIA-backed invasion of Cuban exiles at the Bay of Pigs in April 1961," according to The Telegraph. These soldiers were marching in front of Communist President Raul Castro in commemoration of 50 years of socialism. It is noted that the gathered crowds held banners crying, "Victory of Socialism."
With posting that picture, Comrade Hill appears to be envious of such a declaration. But he tried to defend himself on Twitter after conservative news outlets took notice:
Then he tweeted this doozy:
Clearly.
The picture that ended Twitchy's coverage is perfect and reposted below. It's no less appropriate than Hill's on this American holiday, but WAY easier to stand behind:
