One GOP candidate is apparently NOT sick of the love affair with independent socialist Bernie Sanders, and he’s got something to say:
Marco Rubio says socialism is distinct from the communism his parents fled in Cuba and he doesn’t fault Bernie Sanders for promoting it — but that doesn’t mean he agrees with his Senate colleague.
The Florida Republican corrected a questioner at a “Life of the Party” event in New Hampshire Wednesday who compared Sanders’ brand of socialism with what Rubio’s family fled when they left Cuba.
“In fairness, they fled communism,” Rubio interjected. “There is social democracy, right, like you see in Europe, where government provides for every aspect of your life, but there’s consequence to that. They fled communism, which is beyond socialism, obviously where government controls society, but also government controls politics, life, the banning of religion, people were being executed.”
Perhaps this is a move on Rubio’s part to help sustain Sanders? Sanders has flailed in the polls since he handed Hillary Clinton the email issue during the debate, bgut the one time frontrunner in Iowa and New Hampshire still has a cult following of patchouli scented, bong water stained Occupy sycophants that should help him pull Hillary to the hard left on certain issues.
Either way, it’s a curious bit of differentiation from a guy who no one would ever say is soft on communism. Notably, GOP Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump called Sanders a Communist several weeks ago.
