Bernie Sanders Feels The Bern and Busts a Move on ‘Ellen’ – WATCH
Bernie Sanders appeared on The Ellen Show today and put to rest questions of whether he would join in the daytime talkshow host’s favorite pastime: dancing. Dance, he did, and to the tune of “Disco Inferno” no less.
Bern, baby, Bern.
Presidential candidate @BernieSanders is ready for his entrance onto my show.

The interview with Ellen was meant to show off Sanders’ softer side. NPR reports on some of the hot topics the pair touched on:
— 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.
