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.)

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
