In 1986, Bernie Sanders spoke at the University of Vermont when he recalled his excitement watching Castro’s revolution “rising up against the ugly rich people, and how disappointed he was in Democratic Party President John F. Kennedy’s lack of support for communism in Cuba.
During a town hall on CNN on February 23, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders said it was “a good thing” that Fidel Castro taught people to read and write and that China’s government has “taken more people out of extreme poverty than any country in history.”
Democrat Rep.Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (FL), who represents a district in Florida with a majority of Cuban-American citizens, criticized Bernie Sanders’recent pro-Cuban dictator Fidel Castro comments he made during the Democratic presidential debate.
Yesterday, in a show of support for President Trump, Cubans in Miami took to the streets to form a mile-long caravan of vehicles covered in Trump flags and banners.

“Meagan” tweeted a video of the parade, suggesting that Bernie’s comments supporting Castro have only increased the support for Trump in the Cuban-American community in Miami.
Perhaps Bernie shouldn’t have made comments about Castro. There’s a mile long parade in Miami of Cubans for trump right now 👀 pic.twitter.com/D0DFC7QINH

Translated tweet: Scrapped and in the trash, this photo of Fidel Castro ended, so the communist dictatorship will end. Today it is up to Cuban youth to change our country, our nation and build a country in freedom and progress. A country of opportunities for all Cubans
Desechado y en la basura, así terminó esta foto de Fidel Castro, así también terminará la dictadura comunista. Hoy está en manos de la juventud cubana cambiar nuestra Patria, nuestra nación y contruir un país en libertad y progreso. Un país de oportunidades para Todos los cubanos pic.twitter.com/LAEUP8ySYh
