Well, damn. Sanders surrogate caught admitting to bribing iowan voters
Ben & Jerry's ice cream founder Ben Cohen says that if Iowans vote Bernie Sanders the winner of their caucuses he will reward them in pints -- and possibly a new "Bernie flavor."
"If Iowa voters do the right thing and support Bernie, I will personally come to Iowa and make as much ice cream for them as I can," Cohen told The Hill in a telephone interview Monday just hours before the Iowa caucuses.
Cohen, who has been stumping in Iowa and New Hampshire for his home state senator, became a viral Internet sensation when he made an ice cream flavor called "Bernie's Yearning" to celebrate Sanders's candidacy.
Cohen made 40 Bernie pints in his own kitchen and gave them away in a competition. He originally wanted to sell them to raise money for Sanders's campaign, but doing so would have fallen foul of campaign finance laws. The Ben & Jerry's company had nothing to do with the ice cream.
Now, Cohen has a new Bernie flavor in mind, though he says he's still experimenting with the recipe.
