If you believed everything newscasters say, you’d think “Bernie Sandals” and “Bernie Sandwiches” were candidates Tuesday night in the New Hampshire primary.
At least that’s how Fox News host Megyn Kelly and MSNBC host Chris Hayes mistakenly referred to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
“Fox News has projected that Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire primary on the Republican side,” Kelly said. “On the Democratic side, Bernie Sandals.”
She quickly caught herself and made a joke.
“Sanders, Sandals — it could catch on in the summer months — he has bested Hillary Clinton,” she said:
Meanwhile, Hayes clearly had delicatessen delights on the brain when comparing Sanders’ rhetoric on wages to Trump’s.
“You see that in both Trump’s particularly closing message and railing against pharmaceutical companies and the like and Bernie Sandwiches — Sanders’ — message from the beginning,” he said.
Hayes later tweeted an explanation:
In my defense I was literally watching people being served dinner when I said #BernieSandwiches

Made a funny, but it wasn’t right for a day when we learned of the suicide in the BLM community.
Good, a little much-needed comic relief!
I’ll bet there are about a hundred little diners and delis in Vermont that will have “Bernie Sandwiches” on the menu tomorrow.
Also, I bet Larry David will have a ball with this.
Unprofessional. These are the people who are reporting on the election, and they can’t get the name of one of two top Democrats right? Shows their bias, just like the only rare mention Sanders gets in the news. Republicans with less than 1% in the polls get more respect than Sanders who just won a resounding victory in the New Hampshire primary – more than 21% over the runner-up, and significantly better than predicted. But they still can’t be bothered to get his name right? Their employers should dock their pay for such incompetence.
I’ll take a piece of that sandwich, and in return I’ll cut you in on future Larry Sand-switches.
This currently includes Larry Sandwalls, Larry Sanditches, Larry Sanddollars, Larry Sandbags, Larry Sandbars, Larry Sandman, Larry Sandpaper, Larry Sandervanocur, Larry Sandstorm, Larry San Diego, Lally Sandelsan, Larry Sanders (Hey, now; the sign reads “APPLE SAUCE”.), Larry David, and of course Art Sandalay, plus our crack research team is working ceaselessly towards more exciting innovations.
From Bernie’s speech tonight:
That was his second “congratulations” to Hillary and her supporters – the first one got a big round of applause, and this one got a HUGE roar of approval.
