Bernie Sanders: 'Unfair' to say everything is bad about Fidel Castro's Cuba

Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont said in an interview that aired Sunday that it’s “unfair” to say everything about Fidel Castro’s Cuba is bad.

“We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba, but you know, it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad,” Mr. Sanders, the Democratic presidential front-runner, said on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

“You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?” he said.
