Joe Scarborough Mocks Bernie Defending Castro Comments: ‘Like Saying Mussolini Had the Trains Running’

‘You cannot talk about Fidel Castro’s literacy programs, you just can’t!’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “I mean, and then when Bernie talks about the Soviet Union, they had wonderful chandeliers. Did you see they had wonderful chandeliers in their subways? This is not an argument. Same thing with the Sandinistas going down to Nicaragua talking about the great progress they’re making instead of talking about the torturing, instead of talking about — has there been a communist regime that Bernie Sanders visited that he didn’t find something appealing about? You cannot talk about chandeliers in a subway when you’re talking about a regime that killed 30, 40 million of its own people, either through forced famines or through torture or through show trials. You cannot talk about Fidel Castro’s literacy programs, you just can’t! Not in American politics. And you shouldn’t be able to without talking about the long laundry list of evils committed by Fidel Castro against his own people over decades. That is, yes it is, wait for it, that’s like saying Mussolini had the trains running. Have you seen the trains? I’m telling you, I’m sitting there by the trains, and it’s 2 until 9:00. And what do I see for my 9:00 train? The train’s coming up here while people are up on meat hooks all lined up behind the train. You can’t do it.”
