“We love you, Bernie. Yes we do,' the actor sang to Bernie Sanders supporters at a Los Angeles rally
Van Dyke appearance at the Sanders rally comes just a week after he formally endorsed the politician in a campaign video.
“I’m Dick Van Dyke and I’m a very enthusiastic supporter of Bernie Sanders,” he says in the ad released on Feb. 21. “The age question keeps coming up. I know that I’m 20 years older than Bernie. I have all my marbles! I could run for office if I wanted to. So I don’t think age — it really doesn’t matter, except for his experience and the years he’s put in.”
“I can’t understand why, according to the polls, he’s having problems with older citizens, like me,” he continues. “Why wouldn’t an older citizen vote for somebody with that kind of a record, and that kind of experience and honesty? It just doesn’t make sense to me that he’s not getting my generation. And I want to urge my generation to get out and vote for him, please.
“Another four years of the current administration and we won’t have democracy anymore,” he said. “Bernie has been consistent with his policies ever since I met him when he was in the Senate. He never has changed his attack because of outside pressure from the outside or when he felt the wind was blowing in another way. He stuck with who he is and what he believes in.”
“I think somebody younger like Bernie, is just a perfect candidate,” Van Dyke joked. “Yeah, I think he’ll be around a long time.”
