Bernie Sanders makes Coachella cameo

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders got in on the action at music festival Coachella, appearing in a video introduction of hip hop group Run the Jewels.

{mosads}He said one of the highlights of his campaign has been getting to know rapper Killer Mike, the group’s founder, who has been a vocal supporter of the Vermont senator on the campaign trail. 

“His depth of passion, his knowledge and commitment to community is an inspiration to me, and I value his friendship immensely,” Sanders said of Killer Mike.

He also told group founder El-P to keep up the great work and said he hopes they get to know each other better.

“By the way, I thought the least I could do for both of you was to help you out by bringing a few young people together. So without further ado, I’d like to introduce my friends Run the Jewels,” Sanders said.

The video led into Run the Jewels’s set at the massive annual music festival, which had 579,000 attendees in 2014, according to the Los Angeles Times.
