After the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was announced, President Obama was among world leaders who issued statements that whitewashed the Castro regime’s brutal history. Why wasn’t it mentioned? Josh Earnest tried to explain at today’s presser:

Pres Obama did not mention Castro's decades of brutal dictatorship, but @PressSec says @POTUS wanted to "move past that painful history."

It’s safe to say that Obama doesn’t hold that opinion when it comes to other things.

.@markknoller @PressSec THAT is rich coming from the @POTUS who is still avenging the Crusades??????

Obama wants to "move past" a current family tyranny, yet raises Jim Crow at nearly every stump speech. https://t.co/0L6cMbOcFz

His ability to be a revisionist compares to none, exceptional in that area. @brithume says it best! pic.twitter.com/tQQU0Isdoh

It’s not “history,” as the brutal dictatorship continues unchecked. https://t.co/pkZ8WfERhA https://t.co/HNS3Hou9XG
