4:39Now PlayingBernie Sanders was greeted with applause and cheers when he visited the House of Representatives, to see the Democratic sit-in protest. However, when he went into the senate, he received a different reaction. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Bernie Sanders is back in the Senate, and his return has been a bit awkward.
The Vermont senator enjoyed roaring crowds on the 2016 campaign trail and quickly became a political celebrity, raking in donations and appearing on “Saturday Night Live.” He received a standing ovation at the Senate Democratic caucus lunch last week, where he was allowed to speak for nearly half an hour.
But otherwise, his return has been described by a variety of sources as “low key.”
Sanders attracted more than 12 million votes in the Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses — including the support of hundreds of thousands of young liberals — by calling for a “revolution” and an overhaul of the Democratic Party.
That message has been less enthusiastically received in the Senate, where lawmakers often note that Sanders enjoys the full privileges of membership in the Democratic caucus even though he is technically an independent.”
