The Secret Service Sets Up Shop in Burlington

[leftcoastmountains]

Several days ago, newcomers moved into a quiet cul de sac in Burlington's New North End. They don’t exactly seem like typical neighbors: The group of men rely on a portable toilet and appear to keep a lookout 24-7.

On Wednesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) became the fourth presidential candidate in the current field to get U.S. Secret Service protection, joining Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Hillary Clinton. That day, Sanders’ Burlington neighbors noticed a new RV parked near his home.

As the candidate travels around the Granite State ahead of its Tuesday primary, Secret Service agents are monitoring his modest, pale yellow abode.

2. Be safe Bernie! There are a lot of anti-semitic kooks running around. In fact, stay away from

Trump rallies.


We need you Bernie!!

3. I liked this

Friday, a man sat in the driver’s seat of a third car, parked directly outside Sanders' house. The agents didn't seem flustered by a reporter taking photographs of their vehicles. A man exited the RV and extended his hand to a reporter. Dressed in jeans and a Carhartt-like jacket, he was clearly attuned to the local dress code.
