Actor Dick Van Dyke's video endorsement of Sen. Bernie Sanders for president lit up social media Friday night as the 94-year-old co-star of the original"Mary Poppins" tried to persuade people of his generation to vote for the candidate known for his younger supporters.
Sanders, 78, already enjoys unusual support from voters native to the digital age as he seeks the Democratic nomination for president. Van Dyke wants to see more of his cohorts, whoIn the video posted to Sanders' Twitter account Friday evening, Van Dyke says,"It just doesn’t make sense to me that he’s not getting my generation. And I want to urge my generation to get out and vote for him, please.
“He never has changed his attack because of pressure from the outside or when he felt the wind was blowing another way. He stuck with who he is and what he believes." –Dick Van Dyke
Clever pun, but Dick Van Dyke is not a “hipster replacement”; like his costar Mary Tyler Moore, he’s timelessly hip—one of the wittiest TV icons. Maybe Bernie can get Tony Bennett and Bob Newhart to endorse him next.
Must of felt like his labor was exploited during his time as a chimney sweep
Oh, Rob...you still got it!
Old white men like old white comrades?
In the ad with him holding a Bernie Campaign sign Van Dyke looks like he doesn’t know what he’s holding.
You mean Hip Replacments.
The lack of wisdom in our society is a serious problem.
He doesn't know Bernie. Check out the Jewish Journal February 21-27, 2020. Will tell you about who Bernie is.
Oh no! Did Dick Van Dyke start drinking again?
Everybody loves Dick!😇
Blah. Blah. Blah. Chim-Chiminey Chim-Chiminey Chim Chim Cheroo. Good luck will run off when we all vote blue. 💙
Agree! Sanders has some great and sustainable ideas!
It is amazing to me that people, like Van Dyke, who have benefited so much from the American way of life would support a communist like Sanders. What are they thinking? Or, are they thinking at all?
Just wondering do they have voter stations in nursing homes
Yeah, sometimes its best to keep your mouth shut rather than showing the world your not all there.
More like Sanders seeking votes from those that have had or need hip replacements
KrisKetzKMBC 52% tax on income over $29,000 is all you need to know about Sander’s plan.
I don’t know he was a communist like Bernie?
How disappointing that he would indorse a communist
🤮
Dick just wants some free stuff before he dies 🤷🏻♂️
Soooo dumb...
I'm never new Dick Van Dyck was a Communist.
Poor Dicks
One of the saddest things I ever had to see.
I thought he died a few years ago?!?!?!
Draft dodgers stick together.

He’s made his money in a capitalist system, he has risen to stardom in a capitalist system, he has spoken out on here in a capitalist system WTF do we care what he says
Grew up watching the Dick Van Dyke show reruns, but I'll pass. Bernie wants to tax upward mobility out of existence precisely while a lot of us are in the midst of achieving it.
Don't be stupid.
He can endorse Bernie knowing he won’t be around when everything goes south.
Great news! Maybe my 80 year old Maga mom will switch her alliance now!
60's actor is a communist. Big shocker
What would Mel Cooley say?
Smelling salts will make you do crazy shit
I wonder if Sanders reminds him of Morey Amsterdam.
Poor Dick, he's being used as a prop. I guess it is ok because he's old and white.
So he has dementia then..
Should of gone for amyklobuchar 2020
He’s 94. He has nothing to lose. He sounds great though.
Fun stuff!!
hklthedream That is a terrible joke
You grow up admiring these people for their talent. But you don't really know them. These type of actions/statements reveal certain aspects. It helps you to know whether your admiration was misplaced or not. There have been a few disappointments (Clint) but not in this case.
He has the face ok only a tv camera would trust.
4 more years and we will no longer be a democratic country under Trump? If Sanders get in, we WILL lose our democracy, it’s called socialism!
I respect that he has a right to choose any candidate. The reality is that once socialism sets in, it will be nearly impossible to reverse it. And this man at his age won’t be around to see its long term effects.
Any person stupid enough to vote for a candidate simply because of an endorsement or the letter next to their name is doing this country and themselves a disservice and is failing in their civic duty to cast informed votes.
Sanders plans are all 100% lies, no say this country can afford any of his plans , he’s running on. Not enough rich people either. We all know 50% of Americans don’t pay any Federal income taxes, is Sanders talking about them? The rich pay over 85% of all Fed taxes now.
Hey, about to get another one of my Prolia shots so I *don’t* have hip replacements! Damn osteoporosis. Please don’t mock us old farts. Some of us are cool, such as Bernie, Dick Van Dyje, and almost all of our Presidential candidates. Trump is not cool. He is a monster. 👎🏼 VOTE!
BernieIsARussianAsset who should not be trusted.
Lmao omg give me a break wonder if he likes his health insurance
Sorry democrats out of touch time to go
So sad, is it Alzheimer's ?
Is he a Socialist too. 🤣
Most people from his generation have been voting democrat for 100 years and will do so for the next 100
Rob Petrie for President!
Wow you found a communist actor...soo hard to do that...
Nope
Wonder how Dick Van Dyke thinks about Russia backing Sanders and Sanders knew for over a month, pulling wool over everyone's eyes. It's a win win for Putin- Sanders or Trump
Just say no to socialism...
Let’s go fly a kite, Bernie’s plans alight, Let’s go fly a kite CBO wont be scoring, Up in the bullshitosphere, Up where Bernie’s plans sound clear, Let’s all go, Fly a kite!
He’s 94? !!!!
Is Bernie gonna give up his millions to pay health care for illegals and free tuition for the Daca?
What does he care? He won't live that long to see the devastating effect if Sanders wins. Senility distorts his mind.
Thats because Bernie is a real deal FDR democrat. He is old enough to know that. He is what the party used to be. Think about it: FDR had 'The New Deal' Thank him for our highways, AND Social security. + So much more Bernie has 'The Green New Deal'
His generation shouldn't make me laugh
Knowledge Is Power
Haha, when I initially read 'hipster' my mind automatically went to 'hip replacement' when talking about Weekend at Bernie's.
Not that many left of his generation
Uh, no!
No way!
Looks like Bernie too
Hard pass
When you take a look around you and people are without health care, affordable education, secure retirement and a host of other things that should be considered rights instead of privileges, the progressive agenda starts looking like the only moral option.
I love Dick Van Dyke back to the 60s but sorry, I’d rather see almost any other Democrat than Bernie.
Breaking: Dick Van Dyke is still alive
LarryBoorstein Another old white male with dementia talking?
Yeah!!! We’re tired of old white men! So listen to this old white man and the old white dude he supports! Did I mention he’s only held a job in the public sector and owns three homes!!!!
I will not vote for SenSanders in the VA primary
“Van Dyke said of Donald Trump, 'He has been a magnet to all the racists and xenophobes in the country, I haven't been this scared since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I think the human race is hanging in a delicate balance right now...” Okay Grandpa. 🙄
freetofindtruth Is Bernie Sanders a Freemason? Could he have been involved w mass murder of Sep11? Would he assign attorneys from DOJ to review real facts,as presented by AE911Truth? Dr. Steve Jones SB awarded for speaking out.Yet BYU priority was Illuminati agenda.
Has anyone checked on grandpa recently?
BS what a big disappointment
No way
He must have mental health issues
People of generation? What all four of them?
Looks damn good for 94 years old. I can only hope I make it that long more less look this good.
I'm torn over candidates... but gotta give a shout out to DVD!
legend
Full disclosure I did not know he is still alive. Happy to see him doing well. Won't back Sanders, but happy to see Dick Van Dyke is still active
Bernie Sanders said at the debate last night that he wants minimum wage to be $15 per hour. 15$ X 40 hr week = $600 600$ X 52 weeks per yr = $31,200 52% tax $31,200 = $16,224 in tax $31,200 - $16,224 = $14,976 $14,976 ÷ 52 weeks = $288 per week $288 ÷ 40 hr week = $7.20 per hour
Love Dick Van Dyke. Not impressed with his political styling.
Bernie isn’t my choice but I can respect this man’s opinion at 94.
lol senile
With Dick Van Dyke's beard in the ad, he reminds me of the old banker in 'Mary Poppins' (and in 'Returns'). In the Disney universe, the banks support Bernie. BernieSanders
And we care what a drunk old actor says?
NBC! LOL pulling out the old stuff to indoctrinate the TDS patients!
Derp de derp. I was on TV. The nurses are stealing from me.
Thanks, but no thanks?
'hipsters replacement'... groan
I bet the intern had field day writing that.
Bernie will probably ask Grampa Simpson to his V.P
So fucking what?
