Video: Bernie Sanders Causes A Commotion On Hollywood Blvd.
Not a Hollywood Blvd. Imposter, but the Real Bernie Sanders Hi...Bernie does Hollywood. abc7.la/1RyvQkVIt was no imposter. The real presidential candidate surprised tourists, and even his own Secret Service detail, by taking a sudden stroll down Hollywood Boulevard. But what happens next might have surprised even Sanders.

Hollywood was feeling the Bern yesterday. America's favorite democratic socialist strolled down Hollywood Boulevard ahead of his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show.
It's kind of an odd thing seeing Bernie Sanders right in the middle of Tinseltown, but the crowd was loving it and so was he. He shook hands, snapped selfies with voters and waved to the crowd calling out "Bernie Sanders 2016" and "We love you!" ABC 7 says.

On Jimmy Kimmel Live, he discussed income inequality, national security in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Brussels, the poisonous water of Flint and he confessed that while marijuana wasn't his thing, his grandkids were. ("You smoke your grandchildren?!!" Kimmel asks.)
