Florida Democrats on Feb. 24 condemned dictatorships in countries such as Cuba and Venezuela and shared their support for people fleeing tyrannical governments, after 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said that not everything “was bad” about Cuba under the late Fidel Castro’s rule.
In a statement published on the party’s official website, Chairwoman Terrie Rizzo urged candidates to learn more about the stories of immigrant communities and said local Democrats “stand in solidarity” with those who have been forced to flee dictator-ruled countries.
