‘The ‘Bern ‘ at BAM
Brooklyn native Bernie Sanders returns to borough for ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live: Back to Brooklyn’ at BAM
Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders — who was born and raised in Brooklyn — was featured on “Jimmy Kimmel Live: Back to Brooklyn” Wednesday night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
“Personally, I thought the first Brooklyn-born president would be Mike Tyson,” joked Kimmel, “but it turns out it might be this gentleman. He’s from Flatbush by way of Vermont.”
Throughout the show, Sanders’ statements were met with deafening applause. The statement that elicited the loudest reaction from the crowd was his goal for America.
