Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders will be hosting a rally in Los Angeles on Sunday (Mar. 1), and Public Enemy is set to perform. Comedian Sarah Silverman and beloved actor Dick Van Dyke will also take part in the event.

The rally comes just two days before Super Tuesday (March 3), during which the greatest number of U.S. states (California included) will hold primary elections and caucuses. Sanders has already won the New Hampshire and Nevada primaries.

Public Enemy's performance comes as no surprise, as in their decades-long career, the group has often focused on political commentary and African American issues in their music.

Appropriate. Will Dick dance for everyone?

[albie]

Maybe Dick will sing Chitty Chitty Bern Bern

More illegal campaign contributions for Bernie.

[pfflier]

I didn’t know the old alkie was still hanging around.

Dick has been a liberal Democrat his entire life, which is not surprising because he grew up during the Depression. In 1968 he left the entertainment business to work on Gene McCarthy’s campaign. He’s true to his lifelong beliefs.

Oh Rob!!??

[PGR88]

“Flavor Flav” is 60 years old. He hasn’t aged well. He’ll fit right in with Sanders.

[Still Thinking]

Well, he is, so that works.

[Robert DeLong]

Public Enemy

Let's see if his rally draws as many as a Trump rally, who doesn't need an attraction other than himself to draw huge crowds.

Maybe Eastwood can do his Empty Chair act for laughs.

[xp38]

Public Enemy, Sarah Silverman and DVD and Bernie to bring the house down.. A motley crew for sure.

[xp38]

Clint’s gone Bloomy and not feeling the Bern.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

A public enemy performs at every Sanders rally.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Crack is a helluva drug.

[ealgeone]

mtv’s slide began when they partnered up with rap.

[a fool in paradise]

Dick Van Dyke and Public Enemy. When did either of them have a hit this century?

[csvset]

In July 2016, 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, and I'm just so afraid he will put us in a war. He scares me."

What a dick.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Dick Van Dyke is still alive? ...Huh.

[joethedrummer]

Aww, Come on, Mr. VanDyke... don’t turn out to be a dick!

[MarDav]

Yeah. I thought he died in a terrible living room accident.
