A South Carolina crowd booed socialist Bernie Sanders during a CBS News debate on Tuesday night after he again defended his remarks praising the murderous communist regime in Cuba.
“You praised the Chinese communist party for lifting more people out of extreme poverty than any other country,” CBS News’ Margaret Brennan said. “You also have a track record of expressing sympathy for socialist governments in Cuba and in Nicaragua.”
“Can Americans trust that a … socialist president will not give authoritarians a free pass?” Brennan asked.
“I have opposed authoritarianism all over the world,” Sanders falsely claimed. “And I was really amazed at what mayor Bloomberg said just a moment ago. He said that the Chinese government is responsible to the Politburo, but who the hell is the Politburo responsive to? Who elects the Politburo?”
“You got a real dictatorship there,” Sanders continued. “Of course you have a dictatorship in Cuba. What I said is what Barack Obama said in terms of Cuba, that Cuba made progress on education.”
The crowd booed.
Sanders yelled back, “Really?!”
The crowd booed even louder.
“Really? Literacy programs are bad?” Sanders asked, again parroting debunked communist talking points.
