Watch Bernie Sanders' Brother Get Choked Up With Pride for His Sibling

"I cry because I think of what it would mean to my parents," Larry Sanders says of his brother's success

"It's very strange, it's very deep... I cry because I think of what it would mean to my parents," he says, getting choked up. "I think it would be marvelous if I had a brother who was successful and doing great things. But to have a brother who's doing great things for the reasons he's doing [them], with the possible impact that Bernard is having..."

He goes on, "Bernard's election would be a world historical event, in a very difficult time, when things are going bad in lots of countries. So to have a brother who could stand in the way of that, and make that kind of world difference, is very hard to absorb."
