Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank says "there is nothing good to say" about Fidel Castro

During a round table discussion with The View, Kevin O'Leary and Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban sat down to discuss the current political race. When the hosts turned to O'Leary to know his point of view on the whole Fidel Castro vs. Bernie Sanders fiasco, he called it 'a mistake.'

He further talks about how people in Miami have no interest in even mentioning Fidel Castro in their conversations. And when Bernie decided to mention him during his campaign, it made no sense.

"I have a home in Miami. It's a very multicultural place. You don't talk about Fidel Castro ever and... well like they don't even like to talk about him and here's Bernie out there with 'yeah you know this dictator isn't so horrible'... yeah he's horrible!"

He added -

"I don't think you know by the way, that that literacy program that he was talking about was a reeducation program," he said. "There's a big difference there. You go and so if you actually are a historian and look at what occurred, there's nothing good to say about Fidel."

He then raised questions about the one good thing that Bernie mentioned during his campaign about Fidel Castro. He clarifies how the program that Bernie mentioned was a reeducation program and not a literacy program. He continued and emphasized how he believes, there is nothing good to talk about the former Cuban president.
