,"Fidel Castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps, religious repression, widespread poverty, firing squads, and the murder of thousands of his own people. But sure, Bernie, let's talk about his literacy program.""Make no mistake: Bernie Sanders' comments on Fidel Castro are a part of a larger pattern throughout his life to embrace autocratic leaders and governments across the globe," Biden's senior adviser Cristóbal Alex said in a statement.

But the senator's campaign defended his comments by comparing Sanders to former President Barack Obama -- claiming that Sanders decries aspects of Castro's regime while lauding advances in others, such as education.

BernieSanders

The older Dems who know & lived history are waaay beyond 'anxious' about comrade Bernie to the point of terrified apoplectic distraught outraged. They know for a fact Trump will crush Sanders & cripple the Democratic party at all levels of governance for decades.

Socialism Communism transformed Cuba into ThirdWorldCountry. Castro took it all from people & gave it to those fighting to keep him in power & kiss a$$. Took their money. Taught them to read, but closed bookstores. From the on all books were censored used for indoctrination.

...he had one job: not saying anything flat out stupid. Why am I thinking of Gary Hart

Naming the Democratic establishment and DNC as 'the big-tent party' is very misleading.They are just the opposite, an elite group of mostly white politicians who have managed to get reelected time and time again by promising change but Obama's 'Hope & Change' never materialized.

WarrenForTheWin Bloomberg2020 AnybodyButBernie

evidence contradicts the argument that Sen. Sanders would be an 'electoral disaster.

NO TO CASTRO

I don't think the Dems are the big tent party. Sorry

mmm corporate news media not including the whole quote and being selective to manipulate the masses mmmm

What nonsense. You call yourselves 'news' reporters? Pure bs. Propaganda spewers

Crash and Bern. Time to thaw out Cankles.

Sanders is a commie

At end of day, BIDEN AND BLOOMBERG stand alone to possibly defeat Trump and not bankrupt USA for handouts, illegal immigration, bullshit reparations to be paid for by people whose ancestors are legal immigrants and not duty bound to anyone, etc..!!

Well, he won’t win Florida...as a politician, sometimes you have to be smart...

QapIah Don't let shoe0nhead see this 😏

Bernie Sanders' bromance with brutal tyrannical dictators is making mainstream Democrats nervous in light of news that Putin is supporting his campaign and undercover reporting of campaign officials dismissing gulags as harmless summer camps.

cuba, insignifcant cuba, idiocy if not stupidity knows no boundaries: too mach idiocy and too many stupidity! whereas other nations move into the future, america moves back to the stick and carrot behavior; oh slavery oriented america!

He can forget about Florida

Thanks NancyPelosi

NO, IT ISN'T.

The media has finally found a way to eliminate Bernie. The question is, which candidate will the media now support on its Quixoting quest to defeat Trump?

Yeah but it’s not like Florida matters in a presidential election

False. That is not apparent. BernieSanders lifted up the notion that UniversalEducation & UniversalHealthcare are positively humane ideas, regardless of who implements it—in this case FidelCastro—while unequivocally condemning Castro's brutality & repressive rule. MediaBias

America will never have a president who admires the social theories and policies of Marx and Lenin.

Bernie did great. He answered all the questions. I encourage anyone to see tonight’s town hall on cnn. He answered this question tonight.

Bernie is a communist and the DNC democrat gangstas know it! So whats the news here? The news is that these gangstas are willing to embrace it!!

So illiterate (can they read his quote?) people mocking his everyone-should-be-literate comment? ....aaaaand scene

You see what I mean? BernieSanders = Communism

Obama said pretty much the same things

this is being blown way out of proportion.

The candidate of the (petty) people. Thanks for revealing yours and your peeps true colors, SenSanders.

Don’t forget he praised the Soviets for their communist programs in ‘88 after honeymooning there.

Bernie wins nominee = TRUMP REELECTION LANDSLIDE!!! 60% income tax, 27% sales tax etc. Free is very EXPENSIVE!

Trump, Putin, Saudi, Turkish dictatorships bothers you less, right.

Oh no! Literacy is bad! Boo Bernie!

Most Cuban Americans aren't Dems anyway.

It does until you point out Obama said the same thing, then their heads explode.

Just wait until you find out what trump said about brutal dictators..

Fucking babies

No its not. Only corporate elites who hate Bernie believe that.

IMO BernieSanders is so far left, that he's a combination of being a Communist/Fascist/Socialist. He's a frightening POS! National Socialist German Workers' Party, referred to in English as the Nazi Party.

People are being stupid, small-brained extremists here. You can compliment a person for doing a good thing even when they're a bad person doing bad things. Even Castro did some good shit in his time. The only person who never does anything good ever is Trump. That's the ballgame.

If those quotes worried you just wait until you find the U.S.S.R quotes.

how much of bernie's EARLY 'success' in the primary process is because of putin support? which putin puppet will the heart diseased historical useful idiot pick for vp to MAKE SURE trump stays in power? tulsi? how would keeping trump potus, losing house/senate be progress?

How come the Cuban state ran media isn’t reporting all the people fleeing to Florida?

Obama praises Castro

Bernie Zombies will be coming for you now.

Bernie Sanders said 'it's unfair to simply say everything is bad' about Fidel Castro's Cuba - InsiderSanders said on CBS' '60 Minutes' that Castro 'transformed the society,' but critics were quick to slam the interview as ignorant. Bye bye Florida. You know, it’s amazing to me that progressives have an amazing candidate like Warren who many moderates are willing to support, and her they go with Bernie. She’s even willing to remove the filibuster to actually get something done as well. Sigh. Cuba Interesting, never heard BernieSanders complimented or defended the POTUS in any way for his accomplishments for America.
