Bernie Sanders Dances His Way Onto Ellen [VIDEO]

Bernie Sanders appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show today where he danced a little bit to Disco Inferno as he entered the set. NPR breaks down the interview:



There was some seriousness early on, but it was mostly light fare. He joked about his hair and played along in a lightning round when he was asked: What Republican presidential candidate he’d want to be stuck on a deserted island with. After a long pause, he said, “Marco Rubio; he’s used to the sun.” Rubio’s from Florida. If he was a flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (based in Burlington, Vt., where Sanders is from), what would he be called? “Burn, Bernie, Burn.” “So, it would be hot and spicy ice cream?” DeGeneres joked. Whether he had ever been in handcuffs. “Yes,” he said quickly, before pausing and following up, “I don’t know exactly what you mean by that.” Well, then. “When I was young, I was involved in a civil rights demonstration, and I was arrested,” Sanders clarified. “All right, let’s call it a civil-rights demonstration,” DeGeneres quipped.
