As we told you last night, in a 60 Minutes interview, Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders had praise for the Castro regime in Cuba:
In “60 Minutes” interview, Sanders goes out of his way praise elements of Castro’s reign of Cuba.
“We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but it’s unfair to say everything’s bad. When Castro came into office you know what he did? He had a literacy program.”

Sanders was defending remarks he made in the 1980s about Castro’s Cuba. Joe Biden and his campaign have now joined those criticizing Bernie’s comments:
Biden joins in knocking Sanders over 60 Minutes interview re Cuba:
"He seems to have found more inspiration in the Soviets, Sandinistas, Chavistas, and Castro than in America."

Everybody remembers who Biden spent eight years working for, right?
Biden criticizing Bernie’s comments on Castro just sort of breezes by the fact that Obama made almost identical remarks.

A lot of comments didn’t make the rounds or spark outrage when Obama was in office, partly thanks to a collective hibernation.
