Rare moment of honesty on CNN — Cuban anchor goes off on Socialist who praises Castro.

Yeah, those DSA people at least on their homepage are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fidel Castro.

These people are f****** nuts.

That one woman who won the Democratic primary to face the Republican in Florida is in for a rude awakening.

A lot of Cubans, nicaraguans Venezuelans live in that district and they don't particularly like socialism for obvious reasons

Thats because Cubans, nicaraguans etc are brainwashed people and mistake the regimes in their homelands for democratic socialism. Castro's regime has had major successes with regards to education and healthcare as well as kicking out the former Batista dictatorship, but socialism BAD!!!

This Latino behaved exactly as I would expect on CNN.

Those groups have escaped communism s. Socialism from their respective homelands. I don't blame them one bit for not wanting to vote for someone who's celebrates Fidel Castro's birthday

The woman who was elected also goes by other DSA political objectives which is to eliminate the United States Senate, the supreme Court, and get rid of all the prisons, thus letting all those people out under the street.

Now obviously they don't have the power to do these things nor will they ever most likely. Nonetheless, the fact that they want to do these things tells me all I need to know
