Cuban Americans Share Some Personal Knowledge Of Castro’s Cuba With Bernie Sanders (Update)  "Since Bernie Sanders decided to look at the bright side of the Cuban revolution a few Cuban Americans have come forward to offer their personal perspectives as people who actually lived under Castro’s regime. Shockingly, their memories of Cuban communism are not, primarily, positive tales of expanded literacy. Miami Herald columnist Fabiola Santiago described her family’s experience after Castro took over: . . ."

Senate Dem On Bernie: Come On, We’re Not Really Gonna Make Him Leader Of The Free World, Are We?  . . . "Menendez was more explicit about his objections to Sanders yesterday when speaking to reporters at a construction site in Hudson County, New Jersey. “I’m sure that the hundreds who died in Castro’s jails,” Menendez said, “the millions who came to the United States and other fleeing elsewhere, and those who are still languishing in Castro’s jails simply because they seek to speak their mind as we are free to do in the United States do not find anything in that regime other than it was a tyrannical regime”: . . ."

Dictator Again: ‘Truth Is Truth’; Fact-Check: Here’s The Real Truth  "Despite widespread backlash over his praise of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro during an interview with “60 minutes” Sunday, Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) doubled down on his positive comments on the brutal communist leader’s regime during a townhall with CNN on Monday, declaring, “The truth is the truth.” But a past fact-check by the Washington Post on the claim Sanders continues to push suggests that the socialist senator’s “truth” about Castro’s regime lacks key context and relies on highly questionable data from the dictatorial regime." . . .
"As explained in a Washington Post fact-check of leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s similar claim back in 2016, when Castro came to power, Cuba already had a strong literacy rate. In the areas of education and healthcare, the Post explained, “many other Latin American countries made far more dramatic strides in the past six decades, without the need for a communist dictatorship.' ”
