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

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
