Bernie Sanders Seeks Greta Thunberg Endorsement, But Winds Up Pranked By Russian Jokesters

She was feeling the Bern. Then it turned into a burn.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was excited to speak to who he thought was climate activist Greta Thunberg. Then the conversation took a turn into the bizarre.

Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov are claiming credit for luring Sanders into a phone call with the ersatz Thunberg and her father, Svante. The two have a history of pranking US politicians, and they posted the results to YouTube.

Stolyarov played the role of Svante in the call, with an unidentified woman acting as Greta. They raised the possiblity of endorsing Sanders for US president.

Sure, recently he's talked a lot, but the only things he's ever actually done involve lobbying for F-35 fighter jets and dumping toxic waste in Sierra Blanca.
