Bloomberg: Democrats ‘Will Not Win Florida with a Candidate Who Sings the Praises of Fidel Castro’

‘The Senator’s comments will be toxic for Democrats up and down the ballot in November’

EXCERPT:

BLOOMBERG: “Since we are here in little Havana, let me make perfectly clear and echo what Manny said. We will not win Florida with a candidate who sings the praises of Fidel Castro and downplays the atrocities committed in Cuba. Now I know the senator's comments are hurtful and offensive to Americans — that's Senator Sanders — those who risked their lives to flee Castro regime and come here and start new lives. And as many leaders in Florida have rightly pointed out, the senator's comments would be toxic for Democrats up and down the ballot in November. I know we can beat Trump and bring our country back together, I know we can start by getting big things done on health care and gun safety and climate change and income inequality, and all the big issues that are facing our wonderful country. But first we have to win this primary."
