Bernie was a protestor. Bernie was an activist. Bernie was an organizer. And he is literally the only person in the United States Senate with this story. When he retires, he will be the last activist from the the Civil Rights era in the United States Senate.
He did much more than this. I could tell you a dozen more stories, but I wanted to tell you who Bernie was when it counted, before we knew him, before he ever ran for office, before he was ever a national figure. He was a fighter. He has always rejected the status quo. He spoke out against Apartheid in South Africa before it was popular. Today, he speaks out against the Apartheid-like conditions in Palestine — even though it’s not popular to do so.
