Because it was such a failure. The US was supporting the attempts of Cubans to overthrow the Castro Government. When the attempt failed the US ended up looking rather foolish.

It also emboldened the Castro Dictatorship and its Soviet backing.

What was Bay of Pigs invasion?

The Bay of Pigs was the invasion of Cuba in April, 1961 by anti-Castro forces trained in the US. The purpose of the invasion was to overthrow Castro. It was a total failure because it was meant to be a surprise attack but Cuba became aware of it and Cuban forces were there waiting when the forces landed.The CIA had helped plan the invasion but the inclusion of US air power was called off while the plan was underway, resulting in the defeat of the invading forces. Some critics blamed President Kennedy for its failure, as it was planned during the Eisenhower presidency with an eye to avoiding direct US Military involvement. This would later occur anyway during the Cuban Missile crisis of October, 1962.The bay of pigs was an unsuccessful invasion on Cuba by Cuban exiles, which was supported by the US government.
