Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday that he thought Larry David, who impersonated him on “Saturday Night Live” Oct. 17, did better than he does.

David appeared on NBC’s late night comedy show and performed in a sketch that mocked the Democratic debate.

Sanders commented on the performance Sunday at the end of his appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”

“I think we’ll use Larry on our next rally,” Sanders said. “He does better than I do.”

Here’s the “SNL” sketch:

  2. It could have, but then that would have been one less piece of CLICKBAIT!!!

    Don’t be so modest Bernie. Maybe they can mimic you, but do they have your heart, passion, and intelligence?

    Anyone else notice the contrast between Bernie Sanders’ sense of humor and Trump’s thin-skinned vengeance against any negative or humorous comments about him?

  5. Pretttty pretttty good.

    The guy doing Anderson Cooper was terrible, btw. Has he even heard AC speak? Not even close.
