Sorry Karen — it didn’t work for Bernie either

We remember how praising Fidel Castro doomed the Bernie Sanders candidacy.   I’m sure you remember all of those videos of Sanders talking about Cuba and the socialist paradise.  It was enough to make many Democrats between the coasts worry about getting wiped out in November.

We may be watching how praising Fidel Castro is now destroying any chance of Karen Bass becoming Biden’s VP choice. In 2016, Bass praised Fidel Castro following his death, calling him “Comandante en Jefe.” 

Like Sanders, Bass is now discovering that Castro was a dictator.  She praised him before but now she’s doing “the Miami 2-step”.  

This is from her appearance with Chris Wallace:   

Bass told Fox host Chris Wallace that her perspective “developed over time” and that she now understood that the Castro government “was a brutal regime.” Bass said she spoke with colleagues from Florida who raised concerns about her comments and that she “would not do that again, for sure.”

“I absolutely would have not put that statement out,” she said.

How convenient!  What a timely conversion.

My guess is that Biden will skip Representative Bass because of Florida and her leftist past.  At the same time, he committed himself to a “woman of color” and most of them have a leftist past.

We remember John Leslie Munro, a World War II hero

We are losing more and more men from what we correctly call the Greatest Generation, or the men and women who fought World War II.   We lost another this week in 2015.   His story is worth recalling:

"On the night of May 16, 1943, a squadron of bombers set out from Britainto conduct a series of strikes against heavily fortified dams in the Ruhr Valley of Germany, using bombs that bounced on the water before exploding. Of the 133 who started the mission, only 77 returned.     The last surviving pilot of those who came back was John Leslie Munro, who died on Tuesday at 96 in Auckland, New Zealand.   His death was met with tributes across the globe, including in Britain and in his native New Zealand, for his role in the daring “Dambusters” missionthat struck at the industrial heartland of the Nazi war effort and lifted Allied morale.  “Our New Zealand Bomber Command Association patron and well-known Dambuster pilot, Les Munro, passed away this morning following a spell in hospital with heart problems,” the New Zealand Bomber Command Association said on its Facebook page.  Mr. Munro, who was known as Les, was part of the Royal Air Force’s 617 squadron, tasked with destroying three dams with specially designed bombs shaped like cylinders that had to be dropped at a height of about 60 feet."

What a great story of bravery and courage.   We must remember heroes like Mr. Munro.
