Positive remarks Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) made about Cuban dictator Fidel Castro were out of line, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg said late Monday.

“As a Democrat, I don’t want to be explaining why our nominee is encouraging people to look on the bright side of the Castro regime going into the election of our lives,” Buttigieg, 38, said at a CNN townhall in South Carolina.
