Redeem now

After Tuesday's Democratic Primaries, a video of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has resurfaced on Twitter, and it shows that the senator has undeniable grandpa energy.

Posted on account that seemingly belongs to Sanders' grandson — whose TikTok handle is @berniesandersgrandson — the video is a full minute of Sanders pretending to be a monster after he was woken up by a child who gleefully watches the spectacle from the bottom of the stairs. 

"I was woken up from a very deep sleep by some little kid," Sanders begins after groaning melodramatically at the top of the stairs. "A strange change in my DNA... I have become uncontrollably a monster who's gonna eat up little kids who wake me up."

The video was first posted in early March, but began to go viral on Twitter on March 18. That same day, the video was deleted. Another TikTok remained however in which the user claims to be Sanders' grandson Cole Ewoldsen. His profile points to Instagram user @ccoolee which also seemingly belongs to Ewoldsen and has a few thousand followers, and include a picture with Jane Sanders.

happy birthday
