Watch Bernie Sanders Openly Praising Fidel Castro. Trashing Freedom…
Louder With Crowder ^ | 03/10/16 | Steven Crowder

Ah, the million dollar question. The difference between Bernie Sanders’ brand of socialism and Fidel Castro’s brand of socialism? Not even Bernie Sanders knows the difference.

No seriously. They tried to get him to explain.

Is this Bernie Sander’s “David Duke” moment? When asked to differentiate his brand of social from the communist leader Fidel Castro, Sanders had little to say. The Univision/CNN/Facebook debate featured video of then Mayor Sanders explaining why he believed the Cuban people had not staged an insurrection against Cuba, and why then President Ronald Reagan was wrong to think that Nicaraguans would do the same against the leftist government there. “They had forgotten that he educated their kids, gave them health care,” he said in the video, adding that the Castros had “totally transformed their society” but also qualifying his statement “You know, not to say that Fidel Castro or Cuba are perfect, they are certainly not.”

“In South Florida there are still open wounds among some exiles regarding socialism and communism. So please explain what is the difference between the socialism that you profess and the socialism in Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela,” Univision anchor María Elena Salinas asked.

Sanders got two chances to divorce his “democratic socialist” label from 1960s Cuban communism. At first he focused on the failures of U.S. intervention in Latin America, and historical support for regime change towards brutal dictatorships. But he didn’t really answer the question. Then the moderator gave him another shot.

The callow moron know-nothings who “feel the Bern” couldn’t care less. They barely know Cuba is a country let alone know who Castro is and why he should be despised.

Maybe Cuba is the only place Bernie can find parts for his bondo-VW MicroBus.

They might have windshield wipers or at least, be able to make them.

“They had forgotten that he [Castro] educated their kids, gave them health care,” he said in the video

That's all socialists seem to care about -- free brainwashing centers and free health care. (None of it is free, of course). As if it's the be-all, end-all of human existence. They care not one whit about freedom and liberty. And they loathe personal responsibility. Bernie's supporters in a nutshell.

Nope. Resume enhancer as far as his supporters are concerned.
