77. It's questionable that that's Bernie Sanders. Many who are in that photograph say it wasn't.

In fact, a handful of alums who were Sanders' contemporaries in college have spoken out to claim that the man in the picture probably isn't Sanders at all, but instead another classmate, Bruce Rappaport, who died in 2006.

Do you have a link whether or not they've discovered if the guy pictured is Bruce or Bernie? The link I've provided is for an article dated November 12, 2015, so they could've concluded their investigation in the meantime.

Nope. Just pointing out the double standard. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #50

So are you saying he didn't walk with Martin Luther King? Or what? el_bryanto Nov 2015 #53

Clinton's story, as she tells it, contains a lie. jeff47 Nov 2015 #55
