Bernie Sanders went viral Friday as progressives praised the five-minute ad for offering a powerful counter to the corporate media&#8217;s consistently negative portrayal of Sanders and his 2020 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Legit gave me goosebumps,&#8221;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BREsubstanzVITY\/status\/1180122556784926721\">wrote<\/a>&nbsp;one Twitter user, a sentiment that was echoed across social media in response to the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video juxtaposes the media caricature of Sanders as an unsmiling, loud, and angry curmudgeon&nbsp;with clips showing the friendly and compassionate senator many supporters experience in person at rallies and town halls across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No candidate has endured more unfounded hateful attacks than Bernie Sanders. But he fights on!&#8221;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/0rf\/status\/1179843365850009601\">tweeted<\/a>&nbsp;Orfalea, who posted the video to YouTube Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the clip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3ZhkKATtqtU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shaun King, columnist for&nbsp;<em>The Intercept<\/em>&nbsp;and Sanders supporter, called Orfalea&#8217;s video &#8220;the single best, most insightful, most inspirational&#8221; ad of the 2020 presidential election thus far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Thank you to @0rf for not only showing the world how kind and compassionate Bernie Sanders is,&#8221; King&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shaunking\/status\/1180107147906027525\">tweeted<\/a>, &#8220;but showing just how far off base coverage about him can be.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actress and Sanders backer Susan Sarandon&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SusanSarandon\/status\/1180125856372592642\">praised the video<\/a>&nbsp;for elevating perspectives that the media often ignores in its coverage of the Vermont senator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This video lifts up so many marginalized voices that are consistently downplayed and discounted by the corporate media,&#8221; said Sarandon. &#8220;People of color, women, young people, working people, poor people, and the list goes on.
