Bernie Sanders Chokes Up as His Brother Tells Convention Their Parents Would Have Been Proud

One of the most touching moments of the Democratic National Convention came during Tuesday’s roll call of the states, when Larry Sanders cast his vote for his brother, Bernie, saying their parents would be proud of their son’s campaign. Eli Sanders, a Polish Jewish immigrant, and Dorothy Glassberg Sanders both died when the brothers were young. As Larry spoke, Bernie Sanders could be seen choking back tears in the seats above.
