Ted Cruz

The two of us would sit

literally on the floor of the living room and listened to my dad and my tia Sonia tell us stories about the revolution and my abuelo and abuela, their parents were there also.

So my grandmother, my abuela, she's a sixth grade teacher, Castro takes over.

And she's ordered, you must teach communism to the kids.

You must indoctrinate, you must brainwash the kids.

And my grandmother said she wasn't gonna do it.

And so it's funny, my Thea Sonja mentioned something just very mild, but my grandmother pretended she was insane.

In the classroom, she began literally foaming at the mouth and pretending she was insane.

Why?

Because she couldn't quit.

In the communist dictatorship, she wasn't allowed to quit.

And she made the decision she would rather have the stigma, have the shame of people thinking she was a crazy person.

then be a part of indoctrinating these kids.

In 1989, Sanders stated after visiting Cuba, quote,

i did not see a hungry child i did not see any homeless people bernie said the cuban people quote had an almost religious affection for castro that is not true he is lying he's lying to the people of this country he is playing on the mind of the younger generation here he was either

himself complicit in the lie or he was naive enough or ideological enough to let the Castro regime lie to him and say, look at this, this paradise.

So let me take you back, Thea, back to 59, back to 60.

The revolution succeeded.

You begin fighting against Castro.

What happened to you as a result?
