Random Fact About Bernie Sanders

Sanders admits he can’t carry a tune, but that didn’t stop him from becoming a recording artist. He recorded his first song in 1987 with the former White Crow Studios. Owner Todd Lockwood wanted to get to know the mayor at the time more, so decided to ask Bernie if he’d be willing. “The very first thing he said when I sat down in his office was, ‘I have to admit to you, right up front, that this appeals to my ego’ — and we both laughed,”. Listen below to hear Bernie singing!

He was one of just 67 members in the House of Representatives to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act, a politically tough decision he prides himself on.
