Sen. Bernie Sanders — a Vermont Independent who used to run as a Democratic presidential candidate every 4 years — has heard of UFO whistleblower David Grusch.
When we asked the senator about Grusch and his allegations back in July, Sanders didn’t say a word. He smiled though.
As you’ll hear, we can not accurately translate the senator’s smile.

*Sanders knows me well, because I was the Washington correspondent for Vermont Public Radio for roughly a decade before he first ran for president in 2016.
That said. Sanders has avoided me since I held a mirror up to him this spring.
There, there lil hypocrite.
