Bernie Sanders’ praise of Cuba and Fidel Castro on Sunday is just the tip of the iceberg.
The Democratic front-runner had a romance with the Marxist Sandinista government of Nicaragua in the 1980s and even honeymooned with wife Jane in the Soviet Union in 1988.
Hillary Clinton’s opposition research book on Sanders from 2016 — posted by WikiLeaks after the emails of her campaign chairman, John Podesta, were hacked — has a whole section on the then-Burlington, Vt., mayor’s trip to Nicaragua and chummy support of the Sandinistas in 1985.
“Sanders Was The Only Elected US Official To Attend Anniversary Of Sandinista Revolution In Managua,” one headline in the oppo book said.
“Sanders Supported The Socialist Sandinista Government In Nicaragua As It Fought A Proxy War Against The United States. …He used to be a ‘Sandernista,’” the Clinton campaign research book said, sourcing information from a May 28, 2015, MSNBC story.
Sanders even met with Nicaragua President Daniel Ortega.
In his own book “Outsider in the House,” Sanders called the trip to Nicaragua a “profoundly emotional experience” and praised Ortega.
Burlington and Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, became sister cities.
The Clinton oppo book also cited articles saying Sanders also tried to serve as an emissary to arrange a meeting between Ortega and then-President Ronald Reagan to resolve the conflict.
Sanders also criticized the Reagan administration’s efforts to overthrow the Sandinistas with the pro-US Contras, equating the policy to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. He also worried that the conflict could become a Vietnam-like quagmire.
Meanwhile, Sanders and his wife honeymooned in the then USSR’s Yaroslavl, which had a sister city relationship with Burlington when he was mayor.
