(Mar. 26, 2016 11:12 EDT) — A small bird was apparently feeling the #Bern when it landed on Bernie Sanders’ podium during a rally in Portland on Friday.
To the delight of thousands in the crowd, the bird first landed on the stage and then perched on the podium.
“I think there may be some symbolism here,” Sanders said. “That bird is really a dove asking us for world peace. No more wars.”
