Bernie Sanders Holds Back Tears As Brother Memorializes Their Parents During DNC Vote

It is official that Hillary Clinton had clinched the nomination for President. But, this roll call vote for Larry Sanders, Bernie Sanders, who cast the final vote as a representative of Democrats living abroad was very emotional. Yes, Bernie Sanders has lost the Presidential nomination. But the media tend to forget that candidates have family and parents too and may have been the first of their family to run for President or any other public office position. Indeed, any parent would be proud of his or her child that wanted to make a difference in this world.

Huffington Post:

“I want to read, before this convention, the names of our parents, Ely Sanders and Dorothy Sanders,” said Larry. “They did not have easy lives, and they died young. They would be immensely proud of their son and his accomplishments. They loved him.”

“They loved the new deal of Franklin Roosevelt and would be especially proud that Bernard is renewing that vision,” he continued. “It is with enormous pride that I cast my vote for Bernie Sanders.”
