Representative Karen Bass, who’s among the potential running mates being considered by Democratic nominee Joe Biden, said Sunday that she’s not a “Castro sympathizer” after coming under attack from Republicans for her past support for Cuba.
Asked on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” whether she’d been naive about the communist regime in her youth, Bass replied: “Oh, I think as any 19 year-old would be, sure.”
