Kennedy's betrayal

The notion of Kennedy's betrayal is a certain perspective of the Bay of Pigs Invasion which supposes that President Kennedy's refusal to give proper air support to Brigade 2506, caused the defeat of the invasion. This lack of air support later spurred a sense that John F. Kennedy had betrayed Brigade 2506, and that Cuban exiles immediately started to view him as soft on communism. This soft reputation also supposedly pushed early Cuban exiles to vote Republican in contrast to Kennedy's own Democratic party, creating a long tradition of popular support for the Republican party among Cuban Americans. The supposed immediate distaste for Kennedy among early Cuban exiles has also inspired conspiracy theories that Cuban exiles were involved in Kennedy's assassination.
