Just how with it and hip is Bernie Sanders? Well, when he got wind of rapper and internet sensation Cardi B’s views on Social Security:
FDR is "the real 'Make America Great Again' President because of it weren't for him, older Americans wouldn't even get Social Security." – @iamcardib pic.twitter.com/6FPjVRsKrF

He was all over it:
Cardi B is right. If we are really going to make America great we need to strengthen Social Security so that seniors are able to retire with the dignity they deserve. https://t.co/B8cOkoOdLc

Thanks to @iamcardib for calling attention to the importance of Social Security. pic.twitter.com/bJdt9Oxzzf

Dear Lord.
BERNIE BUSTED: I asked the senator what his favorite @iamcardib song was. His response:
“I would be dishonest if I told you I was a major student of rap. But we appreciate very much the work she has done…Social Security is an issue that young people don’t know much about.”

Would you be interested in campaigning with @iamcardib?

We’re pretty sure we just sprained something from cringing so hard.

We’re honestly not sure whether this is a match made in heaven or a match made in hell.

This whole thing is just so damn weird.
Now do @iamcardib on taxes https://t.co/qKDA6a1NXd

He probably won’t like what she’s got to say.
Bernie, please tell @iamcardib that she’s gonna have to pay more in taxes to keep those entitlements going. I’d love to see that live reaction.

Speaking of things we’d love to see:
