Photos & Video: Bernie In Columbia, South Carolina

Senator Bernie Sanders didn’t do as well as he hoped in South Carolina, placing second, about 20 points behind former Vice President Joe Biden.

But the crowd at Finlay Park in Columbia, South Carolina was just happy to get to see Sanders in the flesh. The fact that he was joined by Danny Glover, Killer Mike, Nina Turner and many more was just icing on the cake.

Keeping the crowd moving in the brisk February weather was Blackillac, an Austin based hip hop group.

.@blackillac were incredible and hyped up the crowd for the speeches to come at the rally in Finlay Park earlier today.

Actor and activist Danny Glover followed Gus Newport, Mayor of Berkeley, California (1979–1986).

Danny Glover has been on the front lines of activism for decades. Somehow, he's still not too old for this shit.

Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi announced that he was endorsing Bernie just earlier that day.

Then there’s @KillerMike who is here for the B.S., that’s @BernieSanders – he’s not here for the bullshit of a political party that claims to be progressive… but doesn’t progress.

Killer Mike tells the crowd that he’s tired of this bull shit.

Nina Turner takes the stage to uproarious applause.

So here’s what it’s like being in ‘the buffer’ the space between #BernieSanders and the crowd.
