Bernie Sanders doubled down on his praise of Cuba’s communist dictator Fidel Castro saying that they had some good government programs.
“When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did?
He had a massive literacy program.”

Of course, Bernie is completely wrong and Twitter let him know that.
Anti-Trump Ana Navarro-Cárdenas attacked him over this:
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/kKGM66a8ci

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.

Bernie Sanders is literally repeating communist propaganda on #60Minutes. Cuba already had one of the highest literacy rates in LatAm before Castro and as a Cuban historian explains here, his “literacy program” was actually a Marxist indoctrination effort.https://t.co/g5LiFQFetc

Wives and gfs. He eventually fled to the US as a political refugee and continue to fight for the liberation of Cuba. He died of AIDS in 1990 in New York. Will millenial gays disavow @BernieSanders’s support for the regime that persecuted this man? Have they even heard of Arenas?

Trump hater from the Palmer Report even attacked Bernie:
In an effort to win the state of Florida, Bernie Sanders just went on 60 Minutes and… praised Fidel Castro?
Wait, does he understand how badly this plays with Cuban-American voters? Is he trying to LOSE Florida?
Who’s Bernie going to praise next, Jack the Ripper?

Before they nominate Castro fanboy Bernie, now is probably a GOOD time for Democrats—if they are unaware—to learn about how Castro put Cuban homosexuals in UMAP concentration camps

It is shocking to me that anyone would vote for this man. He doesn’t even hide the fact that he loves communist figures who have committed massive atrocities.
Don’t forget that people involved with Sander’s campaign have called for camps for Trump supporters to be “reeducated”.
Sanders Field Organizer: The Soviet Union was not horrible
Bernie Field Organizer: Soviet Gulags were a lot better than what CIA told us
I can’t wait for this to become a President Trump campaign ad.
