Sanders and Colbert on TV ‘feeling the Bern’
As usual, scores of people were lined up to see the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in New York City on Friday afternoon. What was unusual, though, was the crowd of 150 people who were gathered across the street to show their support for his guest: Bernie Sanders.
Sanders fans chanted, waved signs, and enthusiastically approached members of the public outside the Ed Sullivan theater in midtown Manhattan, in a public show of support that followed the Democratic candidate’s earlier rally in the city .
“We’re here to welcome people and we’re here to register some voters,” said Patrizia Pelgrift, who organised the rally as an opportunity to sign up new supporters. “And I’m a big fan of Stephen Colbert.”
