WFB: A former political prisoner held by Cuba says that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders defended the country’s communist regime when he visited him in prison.
Sanders was part of a congressional delegation that traveled to Cuba in 2014 and visited American prisoner Alan Gross. Gross told NPR Wednesday that Sanders defended the totalitarian country holding him hostage and said to him, “I don’t know what’s so wrong with this country.”
Gross, who was released later that year as part of a prisoner exchange, says that he had a pleasant conversation with the other members of the delegation, former senator Heidi Heitkamp (D., N.D.) and Senator Jon Tester (D., Mont.). Sanders was mostly quiet during the visit, but toward the end of the one-hour meeting, he pitched in with his defense of Cuba.
“I just think, you know, it was a stupid thing for him to do,” Gross says. “First, how could he not see the incredible deterioration of what was once the grandeur of the pre-Castro era. And two, how could he be so insensitive to make that remark to a political hostage—me!” more
Sanders is a Communist, of course he would defend a Communist country.
This should come as a surprise to no one, I imagine there are more instances of this sort of thing that can be shown as well if you look for them.
Bernie should be asking the question “What’s so bad about this country?”
Fucking scum!
I notice all of these pukes that share the view of communism never opt to actually leave here and go and live in the paradise that they see under those regimes, Not even go and try it on for size.
I could easily see Sanders attempting to emulate EVERY aspect of Cuban government here in America.
I wonder if these nimrods who support him realize that ALL Cubans only earn $30 a month regardless of their career.
If he’s ever in a nuther debate, this old Commie Fart with bad breath and BO should be asked why people will paddle 90 miles in the ocean or climb 20 foot high walls and risk life and limb, getting shot or getting their families shot just to get the Hell out of Socialist/Communist countries!
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS BERNIE!!
Sanders wouldn’t be able to get military security clearance at the lowest level. How could such a person possibly be Commander in Chief? Of course, Obama also would not have been able to get security clearance either. What the hell is going on?
If Sanders ever did become president we would, just as Venezuela did, get occupied by Cuba.
I recall Obama also praising the Cuban communist during his visit to Cubar. The seat of Fedel’s pants were wet from all the azz kissing.
Bernie Praised Fidel Castro’s Education System. So Did Obama.
