This just came across the old twitter feed. It is just crazy.
The story has nothing to do with Sanders or with Will Ferrel, but this is how The Hill is promoting it. Perhaps their editors (if they even have any) are out to lunch.
Sure folks will do anything these days for click-bait and The Hill lives in the same media circle of hell as Politico and Fox News, but even for that cohort--this was a little over the top.
