In a typically unpolished video posted on Twitter Friday morning, Senator Bernie Sanders exhorted his supporters to continue to “fight back.”
“Our job is to keep our eyes on the prize, and the prize is that we will continue fighting for a government that represents all of us,” Sanders said.
Shortly after the video went online, Sanders was spotted taking his seat for the inauguration ceremony, a worn parka over his suit.
Today will be a tough day, but we can’t throw up our hands in despair. We have to fight back. We are not giving up. pic.twitter.com/y3lJf9wzEq
