(May 24, 2016 6:38 pm) — Populist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is in Los Angeles, and after appearing in Santa Monica last night and swinging through Glassell Park for some third-wave coffee this morning, it appears that he caused quite a sensation with a speech in Anaheim Tuesday.

Speaking to a crowd of 1,500 across the street from Disneyland at the Anaheim Convention Center, Sanders trashed the hand that feeds this company town. The Orange County Register reports that during his speech, Sanders used Disney “as an example of the downside of modern capitalism,” saying:

“We’re in a nation where a lot of people are in trouble,” Sanders told a crowd of about 1,500 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Then he asked this: “Anybody here working for Disney?” Many responded that they do.
“Anybody here making a living wage working for Disney?” Many responded that they do not.

With Bernie Sanders’ unexpected endorsement on national television, Canova, a lawyer from Hollywood, Fla., got a dramatic boost for his liberal challenge to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. In three days since Sanders endorsed him, Canova’s phone has been ringing off the hook, he’s been all over the national news, and his campaign is suddenly grabbing the attention of national Democrats.
