Oh Bernie, we love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The audience roared with applause as Van Dyke grinned from behind the podium, later joking about the attention on Sanders\u2019 age. Introducing himself as \u201cwhat\u2019s left of Dick Van Dyke,\u201d he quipped, \u201cI\u2019m 15 years older than Bernie!\u201d Van Dyke praised Sanders as a lifelong patriot rather than a career politician, saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s never been \u2014 to me \u2014 a career politician. He\u2019s just a patriot who worked as hard as he could.\u201d Winning Over the Crowd Social media lit up with reactions to the impromptu performance. One attendee tweeted that the Mary Poppins star \u201cjust charmed the pants off 35,000 people.\u201d Another wrote: \u201cDick Van Dyke absolutely crushed it. What an incredible moment to see this 94-year-old genius LIVE!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Formal Endorsement The rally appearance came just days after Van Dyke formally endorsed Sanders in a campaign video. In it, he urged older voters to support the senator, dismissing concerns about age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I\u2019m 20 years older than Bernie. I have all my marbles! I could run for office if I wanted to,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I don\u2019t think age really matters, except for his experience and the years he\u2019s put in.\u201d Calling the 2020 race \u201cthe most important election since the end of World War II,\u201d Van Dyke argued Sanders\u2019 consistency and honesty make him the right candidate. \u201cAnother four years of the current administration and we won\u2019t have democracy anymore,\u201d he warned. With his humor, warmth, and heartfelt plea, Van Dyke reminded the audience that even at 94, he still knows how to steal the spotlight \u2014 and rally a crowd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dick Van Dyke Serenades Crowd at Bernie Sanders Rally After Endorsing the Presidential Hopeful Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke gave Bernie Sanders supporters in Los Angeles a moment to remember when he&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
