A Bird Landed on Bernie Sanders’ Lectern and Everyone Lost Their Minds

A bird landed on Bernie Sanders‘ lectern during a campaign rally today and everyone lost their freaking minds.

No, seriously, this actually happened:

And if that wasn’t enough, it became kind of a minor Twitter trend under the hashtag #BirdieSanders.

Here’s some highlights:

A vote for Bernie is a vote for #BirdieSanders. Come out and caucus tomorrow in AK, HI & WA. https://t.co/Xne2KWXxsopic.twitter.com/tGk951TBPe

This is a movement built on love. Even birds get that love trumps hate. #BirdieSanders pic.twitter.com/6IZ4d6Su91

By the way, this happened in Portland. Which means that, amazingly, without even trying, Sanders successfully put a bird on it.
