Wait until critics of #OscarsSoWhite catch Sanders’ new ad

Bernie Sanders has released a new feel-good campaign ad that makes the classic hand-in-hand Coca-Cola ads of the ’70s look downright cynical. Rather than buying the world a Coke (which should be free, by the way), Sanders employs “America” bySimon and Garfunkel to serve as the soundtrack to a countryof bucolic beauty, bustling small businesses, and lots and lots of hugs.

Then, of course, there was the terrorist attack in Benghazi. President Obama famously wasn’t in the situation room that night, […]
