California Congresswoman Karen Bass (D) is reportedly in the race to be Joe Biden's running mate. Bass was born both black and a woman, Biden's criteria for picking the person one heartbeat away from the presidency. Biden's affirmative action policy has the finalists doing some last-minute scrambling to get on the ticket. Rep. Bass was on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace where she was forced to address comments she made in 2016 mourning the death of communist dictator Fidel Castro.
"As Cuba begins nine days of mourning, I wish to express my condolences to the Cuban people and the family of Fidel Castro. The passing of the Comandante en Jefe is a great loss to the people of Cuba," Bass said in a statement at the time.
Castro was a brutal dictator who imprisoned tens of thousands of his fellow countrymen while keeping millions of Cubans impoverished and repressed for decades. Castro's communist revolution failed, but liberals like Bass gave him an A for effort and mourned his passing.
Chris Wallace called Bass out for not only praising Fidel Castro but also for her extensive travels to the communist country in the 1970s.

That should solidify her Biden's vp standing. Such a help mate for Slow Joe, and she dragged Obama down with her, no less.
Just what you want in a POTUS...a slow learner. (or a liar - been there done that)
She praised Scientology in 2010.
List of controversies on wikipedia are all from 1991 and prior to 2010:

eg: Allegations the Church leader David Miscavige beats and demoralizes staff, and that physical violence by superiors towards staff working for them is a common occurrence in the church.[2009]
The Dems have only lately dropped their public phony moderate personas. Now imagine the secrets coming out from the inner DeBlasio types all over the country.
The mayors, governors, and the DC denizens who loved the Viet Cong, Commies under Mao (40 million dead) and their beloved bearded murderer Castro-—but had to salute the American flag and pretend to be good Americans—until now.
In the number one novel and movie Advise and Consent (1962) the Henry Fonda character told the President he was withdrawing from his nomination for the Sec. of State position because he admitted the shocking rumor was true that he was a Communist group member in college and met with traitors using false names to undermine America.
Now, they’d say “Wow, you should be VP with Bernie but at least if you were a black woman you could go with Biden’s ticket. Your background makes you popular with the AOC wing. Will bring a lot of votes.”
Another in the movie was a US Senator who killed himself rather than be exposed as a homosexual before his current marriage. Times really change.
The Dems are said to have their homegrown version of Taquiah.
Sorry dear, you’re still stupid.
You’re still a Democrat.
You can’t get elected as a Demonrat without being a Communist supporter.
She’s also still a Communist.
McCarty and the Birchers were right.
McCarthy
I tried to watch a little of Wallace, but he is just insufferable. However, I did see her. At the end, she said that she wouldn’t SAY the same thing about Castro outloud, which is saying she still thinks it, but knows it may get her in political hot water to say it.
She’s a stone-cold Communist. Has been all her political life. She was mentored by the late “Red” Ron Dellums.
I shudder at what I hear from some city folks I consider metro-sexual types concerning this race.
Disappointing is all I can offer for an opinion without being downright nasty.
Or any other picks they may have.
A distinction without a difference.
In a sense Karen Bass has been caught with a stolen cow. Her story, and she is sticking to it, is that she did not steal the cow, but found a rope and brought it home with her and did not know the cow was tethered to the other end of the rope. She is begging for us to allow her to be a victim of her stupidity while both young and now mature. That old dog won’t hunt.
Obama picked Biden as veep as insurance he would never be assassinated. Obama found someone stupid.
And now Biden is trying to find someone even more stupid than he is.
