That's only part of the story. If you want to learn about why they actually went that way, you should dig deeper. Here's the short, extremely simplified version:

• Kennedy backed rebellion and supported a group of freedom fighters (One of my cousins was actually part of the insurgents)
• Congress didn't back him. The legislative branch was mostly Republican at the time. Kennedy, of course, was Democrat.
• The insurgents went in and lost US support, were all captured and/or killed.
• Congress blamed Kennedy even though they were the ones that pulled support.
• Cubans in turn were told Kennedy and the Dems caused it.

As a result, 60+ years later, we have a bunch of ignoramuses in Miami who support the very people who consider us "the help."

Fuck the GOP. (Fuck the Dems, too, but not for that specific thing.)
