A new video has emerged of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) praising communist dictator Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution. The video, posted on Twitter on Feb. 21 by a group known as the “Reagan Battalion,” is the latest in a recent series highlighting Sanders’ affinity for communism.

“I remember being very excited when Fidel Castro made the revolution in Cuba,” Sanders, who is now a 2020 presidential candidate, said. “I remember reading that it seemed right and appropriate that poor people were rising up against rather ugly rich people.”
