I see Bernie, I CLICK.
-
Ask your elders about the story of your family before it's too late.
-
Fun fact: Bernie Sanders can run in Polish presidential elections. In Poland to easily get Polish citizenship one of your parents also needs to have Polish citizenship, and since his father was a Polish Jew this is just a technicality. All he'd need is 100,000 signatures.
-
I saw that episode of Finding Your Roots. At the end, Bernie finds out he's a distant cousin of Larry David! 🤗 He got a major kick out of that.. 😄
-
Bernie said his dad wasn't a flag-waving type, but "he loved this country in a very, very deep way." I think it's time for the chronic flag-wavers, and not much else, to put down those flags and put their focus on what the flag represents. They seem to have "forgotten".
-
I bet Bernie's dad would be proud of his son.
-
Imagine how proud his dad would be to see how his son turned out. He came here as an immigrant, grew to love this country and its people and his son spends his life serving this country and advocating for its people. Bernie has more than repaid this country for giving his dad safe harbor. A son to be proud of to be sure.
-
Bernie's story is every immigrants story and the common thread we all share, the search for a better life.
-
I found my biological brothers on Ancestry, that made my whole year twice!
-
Elias raised a fine son who cares for all of us. No matter what nationality you are. I have so much respect for Bernie.❤
-
As the daughter of an immigrant I never heard my dad talk about where he came from, we knew very little of him. Now I realized that talking about a place you can never go back to, hurts more than forgetting it 😞
-
Glad Elias got out when he did. Things got much worse for Jewish people there in the next couple decades.
-
I remember this episode. I have never seen Bernie laugh so hard before when he found out who he was related to.
-
Bernie is a deeply empathetic person. It explains why he takes certain unpopular stances... sorta reminds me of Jimmy Carter in that sense
-
No wonder he carries so much care for the helpless. Runs in his blood, the struggle.
-
It just hit me that this is the first time I've seen Bernie laugh like that, and I'm all here for it. He's such a delightful person!
-
I have never cared about meeting any renowned person , but Bernie is the exception. The man cannot be bought and his word can be taken at face value. That's extremely admirable to me. I would love a conversation with him.
-
I’m so glad Bernies dad made it here to America. Without that we would have Bernie! One of the few people in government that actually cares about the people!
-
Bernie is probably the only person that I would vouch for his goodness without meeting him. Normally I feel so cringy to see someone support anyone the way that I support Bernie, it's not cringy only when it's someone real and Bernie is that. He's had his politics even when they were not popular at the time, he had them because they were his truth. He's a true inspiration. Love and respect from Istanbul.
