New video unearthed of radical liberal Raphael Warnock shows the Reverend speaking about Fidel Castro, claiming the murderous dictator had a “complex legacy” and comparing political prisoners under the brutal Cuban regime to prisoners in the United States. This flies in the face of Warnock’s denial of admiration for the Communist dictator in the weekend’s debate, when he claimed “He has nothing to do with me.”
Warnock says: “We remember Fidel Castro, whose legacy is complex. Don’t let anyone tell you a simple story; life usually isn’t very simple. His legacy is complex, kind of like America’s legacy is complex…
“While we focus on political prisoners in Cuba, you saw the folks standing here this morning. If some people get slapped on the hand for the same crime and others go to federal prison, then we too have our own political prisoners, because politics more than the crime – politics of race and class, and in that sense many of us have sisters and brothers who are political prisoners.”
