   A spokesman from Bass' office told Politico that she has always   
   been a Democrat communist activist whore.   
      
   Rep.  Karen Bass, D-Calif., who is reportedly on Joe Biden’s   
   shortlist of potential running mates, eulogized one of the top   
   members of the Communist Party USA in 2017 and called him a   
   “friend and mentor."   
      
   Politico reported that Bass praised Oneil Marion Cannon on Jan.   
   30, 2017, in remarks that were inserted into the Congressional   
   Record. The eulogy, which was 406 words long, failed to mention   
   Cannon's role in the Communist Party USA.   
      
   The report and comes at a time when Bass has been trying to   
   distance herself from past controversial comments on Cuba. She   
   most recently told NBC News that she is “not a socialist. I’m   
   not a communist. I’ve belonged to one party my entire life and   
   that’s the Democratic Party and I’m a Christian."   
      
   Bass praised Cannon for his service in WWII and his “fight   
   against injustice” that spanned his entire life, from New   
   Orleans—where he was born—to his time in Los Angeles where he   
   “fought to become the first African American member of the   
   Printer’s Union." She said he was “deeply involved in politics”   
   and belonging to the Independent Progressive Party.   
      
   Politico reported that Cannon was a top member of the Communist   
   Party USA for decades. A spokesman from Bass' office told the   
   website that she has always been a Democrat.   
      
   “The Congresswoman is friends with Kevin McCarthy and is not a   
   Republican,” the spokesman said. Bass never shared her political   
   ideology with Cannon, the spokesman said.   
      
   Bass is considered one of the leading candidates to become   
   Biden’s vice-presidential pick. But recently her decades-long   
   ties to Cuba have drawn scrutiny because of how they could play   
   in Florida, a key swing state in the November contest with   
   President Trump.   
      
   Biden's campaign and Bass’ office did not immediately respond to   
   an email from Fox News seeking comment.   
      
   Bass traveled to Cuba in 1973 with an organization called the   
   Venceremos Brigade, a joint venture between the Castro regime   
   and left-wing U.S. groups that organized trips for Americans to   
   the country. During that trip, she went to see Fidel Castro   
   speak and, in 2016, when the dictator died, she sparked   
   controversy by referring to him as "commandante en jefe"   
   (commander in chief) and calling his death a “great loss to the   
   people of Cuba.”   
      
   She faced criticism and recently clarified that “it’s certainly   
   something that I would not say again,” she told MSNBC. "I have   
   always supported the Cuban people, and the relationship that   
   Barack Obama and Biden had in their administration in terms of   
   opening up relations.”   
      
   In that interview, she also called the Castro regime "very   
   troubling."
