In a typically unpolished video posted on Twitter Friday morning, Senator Bernie Sanders exhorted his supporters to continue to “fight back.”
“Our job is to keep our eyes on the prize, and the prize is that we will continue fighting for a government that represents all of us,” Sanders said.
Shortly after the video went online, Sanders was spotted taking his seat for the inauguration ceremony, a worn parka over his suit.
Today will be a tough day, but we can’t throw up our hands in despair. We have to fight back. We are not giving up. pic.twitter.com/y3lJf9wzEq

I’m personally matching all gifts to the Forward, up to $36,000. Can I match your gift now?
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
