Dick Van Dyke: Bernie Sanders is telling us The Emperor Has No Clothes [View all]

Actor Dick Van Dyke appeared in the movies "Mary Poppins" (1964) and "Night at the Museum" (2006).

He recently spoke to PBS' Tavis Smiley:

Bernie Sanders is sounding an alarm that's been around for 100 years. Woodrow Wilson said in 1913 the United States government is being run by an invisible force which -- insurance companies and banks -- that was in 1913. And the stranglehold has just caught on now, I don' t think we can get out of it. Bernie I don't think can be elected, but thank God he is at least telling us -- he is the man saying that the emperor has no clothes.
