Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) made his first major goof of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary campaign by praising Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s literacy programs, according to Republican campaign pros interviewed by The Epoch Times.
Sanders said in an interview aired Feb. 23 on CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that “we’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but, you know, it’s very unfair to say everything was bad. When Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program.”
