José Victoriano Huerta Ortega was a Mexican military officer and president of Mexico, and was a political rival to Pancho Villa.
Even though Huerta had been removed from power in 1914 and died in early 1916, Villa and his army still detested Huerta's name when Indiana Jones was kidnapped by Pancho Villa's army. Once Jones had joined Villa's revolutionaries, he shared in the contempt for Huerta.[1]
Even in 1957, Jones, when he mentioned fighting alongside Villa to Mutt Williams, Jones spat after saying Huerta's name.[2]
