Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders is having a rough time recovering from last week’s debate. This new video may put the finishing nails in his political coffin. Or may very well strengthen the resolve of his ignorant supporters.
This video, discovered by CNS news, shows Bernie Sanders praising Fidel Castro’s communist regime, which is notorious for its genocidal and oppressive tactics.
Bernie Sanders says that:
“You may recall way back in, what was it, 1961, they invaded Cuba. And everybody was totally convinced that Castro was the worst guy in the world, that all the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel Castro. They forgot that he educated kids, gave them healthcare, totally transformed the society…”

Sound familiar? Free healthcare, free education, complete societal redistribution of wealth and success? Sanders hasn’t changed his position once in thirty years and political ideologies like his have infected the Democratic party, turning the 2016 election into a clash of morals. Whose side will you be on?

The person who is delusional here is the person who wrote this article.
You all some truly freaky freaks.
And? What’s wrong with the people of Cuba today? Free education, health care, any college they want for free anywhere ANYWHERE in the world, so what’s wrong with that? Cuban crime rate just under 2%, no homelessness, retired at the age of 55. What’s wrong with that? Anyone have an answer? One out of every eleven citizens in Cuba is a doctor of some sort. Bernie will take this election, the swipe in Canada and the UK it’s happening, no more fear and hate from people like this site.
Wow…this is what you call “truth”? First off, Bernie won the debate, not Hillary. And Second; he made a valid point. The educated want universal health care. The educated want political fairness and proper regulations so that everyone in this country gets a fair shake. The facts are pretty straight forward. Bernie Sanders doesn’t pander, and that scares people like those who wrote the idiotic article above.
I think this is an interesting video, but not particularly relevant to today’s campaign. He is in no way supportive of Castro or of Communism, which is what is implied in the headline–deceptions, once again. I still think Sanders is the best of the lot–for ALL the people!
Still supporting Bernie over here… Even though the nameless author of this article refers to me as “ignorant”. All I heard him say in this snippet was that Castro gave education to the people and they didn’t rise up against him when it seemed they had the chance. I didn’t hear him say that Castro was an awesome guy and he wants to be just like him. Did anyone hear his say that? What am I missing here?
I was old enough to see these folks at that time…and my dad was in Congress. I remember these comments. They aren’t bad. Yes, for many Cubans, Castro did things which improved their lives. Did either Mr. Sanders or I LIKE Castro’s methods? That is a separate query entirely. What Sanders said was and is true. It isn’t an approval of Castro…indeed it rather indicts him of manipulating the poverty and desperation of the Cuban people.
