I have already seen in the thread the claim that Bernie Sanders “marched with MLK”. A quick survey of Sen. Sanders’ career show that his closest brush with MLK was going to the Washington for Jobs and Freedom along with 250,000 other people which isn’t the closest connection.

There was a black woman behind the counter watching this with a ‘look” on her face. She turned out to be the store manager. Hy sister asked how do you get through…
