Bernie Sanders Claims Castro’s Cuba Wasn’t All Bad
As a particularly interesting election year, and especially ahead of the Democratic primaries, all eyes are on the candidates running for presidency and how their positions indicate the direction their party is going.
When under the microscope, all candidates have said things that they probably wish they hadn’t. Most recently, and perhaps most shockingly, candidate Bernie Sanders referred to the Castro regime in Cuba in a 60 Minutes interview, saying, “it's unfair to simply say everything is bad,” which immediately sparked outrage and criticism from first- and second-generation immigrants who escaped from socialism, particularly those from Cuba. Many then bravely shared their sad and eye-opening personal stories about their families’ struggles under such an authoritarian regime.
