Meghan McCain Slams Bernie Sanders for Fidel Castro Comments: It’s Like “Saying Hitler Was a Good Orator”
Decider ^ | February 25, 2020 | Claire Spellberg

When it comes to The View‘s co-hosts, they certainly aren’t feeling the Bern. On Tuesday morning, the panel tore into Sen. Bernie Sanders for praising Fidel Castro’s “literacy program,” a sentiment that he doubled down on during a town hall on Monday night. For once, the panel was in agreement that Sanders’ defense of Castro is a “bad” move, particularly as his remarks may alienate Latino voters in Florida. “It’s no different than saying, ‘Hitler was a good orator,'” ripped Meghan McCain. “It’s that insane!”

The View co-hosts wasted no time on Tuesday morning before tearing into Sanders, the current frontrunner in the 2020 Democratic primary. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg opened the show by noting that despite his recent success in Nevada, Sanders has “left himself wide open [by] doubling down on his praise for Cuban leader Fidel Castro.” In a televised town hall on Monday night, Sanders complimented one of Castro’s early policies, saying, “He initiated a major literacy program … They went out and they helped people learn to read and write. You know what? I think teaching people to read and write is a good thing.”

“It’s a dictatorship. There’s nothing groovy about a dictatorship!” said Goldberg this morning. “There’s just nothing good about a dictatorship!” Sunny Hostin agreed, adding that Sanders’ comment likely won’t sit well with the large Cuban community in Florida. “They hear this word ‘revolution’ … it reminds them, over and over again, of what happened in Cuba,” she said. “If the Democratic nominee is Bernie and he’s saying these things and he’s this Democratic Socialist, that is not going to do well in Florida, a swing state, for that Latino contingent. They are not going to forgive him for this position.”

Hitler was also an animal lover.

It’s kinda interesting to compare Hitler’s oratory with Bernie’s. The both tend to be ranters.

True but Hitler’s was more coherent. (being Jewish I don’t condone anything about Hitler, just an observation).

I bet these women of the View sang a different tune about Castro when Obama the messiah was making overtures to the Cuban dictator. They have obviously been given marching orders by the PTB in the Democrat party to go after Bernie.

Hitler was a great orator and an evil human being, they are not mutually exclusive. Meghan McCain’s comment just reminds me that she does more eating than critical thinking.

I’m guessing Bernie has more nice things to say about Castro than President Trump.

I gotta say this though: Hitler was a crackpot nutcase zero who’s only apparent skill was whipping people into a frenzy with his speeches. Sometimes saying Hitler was a good orator isn’t a complement but rather is a warning that people who have no business being anywhere near power can beguile people with their words so be on guard, look deeper, THINK!

Maybe Sander's supporters should have this on their T-shirts instead of Che's image:

Bathhouse Barry loved Fidel Castro and commies of every stripe and opened up relations with Cuba to help their, not our, economy. And now all of a sudden he’s the devil. It’s like “1984” when last week Eastasia was an ally in a war against Eurasia but the next week they are and always were the enemy. Amazing at how quickly Dems drink the Kool-aid.

Weren’t these broads crying when Barak landed in Cuba and crowing about their superior HC?

Bet you’re behind these hags along with most of the dem party will vote for him over Trump, 10 times out of 10. Fake outrage, they will get in goose-step real quick.

You can’t spread communist propaganda material if they cannot read it!
