Republicans have been quick to cast doubt on Sanders, who identifies as a democratic socialist, as he surges in polls and leads the primary field after wins in Nevada and New Hampshire.

He faced an onslaught of criticism Monday, even from members of his own party, after comments he made about Fidel Castro’s Cuba during a “60 Minutes” interview. He said “it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad” under the late Cuban leader’s rule.

The Sanders campaign defended his comments, claiming he echoed remarks former President Obama has made.
