<p>Senator Bernie Sanders has been relentless in promoting his rose-colored glasses vision of Cuba by extolling the literacy program implemented by Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. But despite Sanders blowing smoke, the reality of what Castro forced Cubans to endure is quite different from the sunny picture Sanders keeps pushing.</p>
<p>Sanders <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bernies-pro-castro-remarks-backfire-sound-of-bernies-latino-voter-wave-crashing">said</a> to CNN’s Anderson Cooper, &#8220;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?&#8221; Sanders <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/sanders-fidel-castro-praise-amid-criticism">doubled down</a> the next day at a CNN townhall, saying, “When Fidel Castro first came into power &#8230; you know what he did? He initiated a major literacy program. It was a lot of folks in Cuba at that point who were illiterate and he formed the Literacy Brigade &#8230; and they went out and they helped people learn to read and write. You know what? I think teaching people to read and write is a good thing,&#8221;</p>
