On CBS News' "60 Minutes" on Sunday, the old, useless commie defended the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro by saying that "it's unfair to simply say everything is bad," in terms of what he did to his people in terms of social welfare programs he introduced to those Cubans he didn't have killed.
In fact, comrade Sanders has never met a communist regime he didn't like.
"We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?" Sanders told Anderson Cooper.
But even this was a lie. There was already a 70 to 80 percent literacy rate in Cuba before Castro came in and forced communism on its people.
In a resurfaced speech given at the University of Vermont in 1986, Sanders praised the socialist policies implemented in Cuba by the Castro regime and criticized bipartisan efforts in the U.S. to tamp down on Castro's spread of communism.
While Sanders said in the new interview he "condemns" any human rights violations Castro committed, he also took aim at President Trump for his unlikely friendships with some dictators or strongman leaders, including North Korea's Kim Jong Un and Russia's Vladimir Putin.

Except that Trump wasn't praising these idiots for their politics, he was praising them for his ability to "get along" with them, and the fact that he believes they like him personally. Of course, Sanders was trying to use Trump as a distraction from his own political beliefs he held his entire adulthood.
"I do not think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend," Sanders said. "I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Vladimir Putin, not a great friend of mine."
"I do not think that Kim Jong Un is a good friend," Sanders said. "I don't trade love letters with a murdering dictator. Vladimir Putin, not a great friend of mine."
But he does believe in his heart that Putin "doesn't call . . . he doesn't write."
Sanders went on to define his brand of democratic socialism, which has tapped into a more progressive ideology that has been gaining traction with young voters across the country because they actually believe that stuff is free and Bernie is Santa.
"When Donald Trump was a private businessman in New York, he got $800 million in tax breaks and subsidies to build luxury housing. That's called corporate socialism. What democratic socialism is about is saying, 'Let's use the federal government to protect the interests of working families,'" he said, obviously not understanding tax law as he never employed anyone or held a real job outside of government.
Trump has used Sanders' policy initiatives, including "Medicare-for-all" and free college tuition and elimination of student loan debt, to take aim at the senator, even going so far as to properly label him a communist.

Based on the Cuban population in Florida who fled communism, and the retired Jewish population who love Israel, which Sanders has shown he doesn't, he has about as much chance doing well in the state as Cassem Soleimani had in walking away from that drone strike in one piece.
As it turns out, Bernie's pro-Castro remarks have come back to bite him on his old butt with Cuban Americans as he faced widespread backlash late Sunday after the CBS broadcast.
“You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did?” Sanders said. “He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?”

"Came into office?" No Bernie, he was not elected--he shot his way into office and lots of Cubans died or escaped his brutal dictatorship.
The literacy program, by the way, was not so much to teach people how to read; it was to teach people to read Communist propaganda. Most already knew how to read, as stated above. In fact, the claim itself was propaganda.

Castro regime’s been in power in Cuba for +60 yrs w/o free elections. They’ve killed, jailed, tortured thousands. They confiscated assets, expelled priests & nuns… And let’s be clear, Cubans weren’t exactly communicating by grunts. Most knew how to read. pic.twitter.com/kKGM66a8ciNavarro added:

I was in 2nd Grade when Sandinistas came to power in Nicaragua. They adopted Cuban education model. The books/curriculum taught ideological indoctrination. Children had to recite communist, revolutionary, anti-American slogans. That’s how communist teach people to read and write.Left-wing MSNBC frequent guest Fernand Amandi tweeted out a series of videos showing Sanders’ repeated praise for communist leaders:

Christopher Hale, a former Obama staffer, wrote:
Fidel Castro was a dictator and a tyrant. He spent his regime murdering dissidents, imprisoning gay people, separating families from each other, banning the free and open practice of religion, and bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war.
He’s not worthy of praise.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) tweeted:
Likely Dem nominee praised the supposed “achievements” Castro regime
And he’s wrong about why people didn’t overthrow Castro. It’s not because “he educated their kids,gave them health care” it‘s because his opponents were jailed,murdered or exiled https://t.co/6i41w7zcDe

But on the bright side, Sanders received an endorsement from Marianne Williamson, a former candidate for the Democratic nomination who dropped out soon after the race began.
“On the same day that Bernie Sanders welcomed an endorsement from anti-Vaxxer Marianne Williamson, he’s got a 60 Minutes interview where he praises Castro’s indoctrination… I mean ‘literacy program.’ I can’t wait to see how this plays with swing voters come November.Democrat Rep. Donna Shalala (FL) tweeted:
I'm hoping that in the future, Senator Sanders will take time to speak to some of my constituents before he decides to sing the praises of a murderous tyrant like Fidel Castro. https://t.co/Iwvmay9LOH pic.twitter.com/KT9sQ0pfkhBut my favorite response came from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) whose father is from Cuba, Cruz tweeted:

It really makes a difference when those you murder at the firing squad can read & write. https://t.co/4DKbSKpI6t— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 24, 2020Hopefully Floridians will finally see through the Sanders facade and the lie that he only wants Scandinavian-style socialism. The guy is a full-blown communist who was kicked off a commune as a young man because he refused to do the required work.
