Bernie Sanders denounced authoritarianism, but would not recant comments that it was 'unfair to simply say everything is bad' about the Cuban Revolution
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Monday doubled down on past remarks about Fidel Castro where he said it was "unfair to simply say everything is bad" about the communist regime in Cuba.
Sanders added that China is another example of an autocratic dictatorship that has accomplished good things for its people. Still, Sanders emphasized Monday that he is adamantly opposed to authoritarian states and their methods of ruling. "I don't want as a Democrat to be explaining why our nominee is encouraging people to look on the bright side of the Castro regime when we are going into the election of our lives," Buttigieg said during his CNN town hall Monday night.
