Legendary comedian and actor Dick Van Dyke on Friday endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for president and urged older voters to back the Vermont lawmaker. "Why wouldn't an older citizen vote for somebody with that kind of record and with that kind of experience and honesty and trust?" Van Dyke, 94, said in a video circulated by the Sanders campaign. "It just doesn't make sense that he's not getting my generation! And I want to urge my generation to get out and vote for him please."

Dick has turned into a real Richard.
Maybe they slipped some into his baby food.
He did?!!! I'm shocked.
So it appears he's against every sitting President.
He's an empty chair now.
yup, senility and the need for better hearing aids.
He tripped over that ottoman one too many times.
My God it makes me so sad to see older people lose their mind.
Ignore them, wholesale.
He worked for the socialist Carl Reiner - father of Rob Reiner.
What more do you need to know?
I’m shocked, because I thought he was dead.
He must be a secret Freeper—Operation Chaos!
Nothing very new here. Van Dyke has always been left liberal. He didn’t go around beating everyone over the head with virtue signalling. This goes back to Viet Nam when I saw his name on several of the newspaper page long ads urging the US out of Viet nam immediately. I suspect he gave generously to what was laughably called ‘anti-war groups’.
Carl Reiner will be 97 y/o on March 20th.
I haven’t seen him interviewed for many years.
Perhaps he just doesn’t do interviews anymore.
Betty White? I’m sure Betty would be a Bernie Gal!
Gee... apparently, the name “Dick” fits him well...
Very disappointing. To the best of my knowledge, Dick van Dyke had always steered clear of political crap.
Well, Chiitty Chitty Bang Bang
has he ever stated his political opinion in the past?
Clint was at the convention for Mitt. There you go.
I had this image of Griffith being struck down as he urged the people to vote for Obama. For surely God was not pleased.
Clear evidence that if you’re exposed to commie Karl Reiner long enough, it rots your brain.
Larry Mathews was the Beaver. “Leave It To Beaver”, ‘57-’63. He was also supposed to have been killed in ‘Nam, but that was just a crazy assed rumor.
