Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig Discusses Bernie Sanders on CNN

Yesterday in Iowa, Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig performed at a rally for Bernie Sanders alongside Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth. During the event, CNN caught up with Koenig to discuss why he supports Sanders. Watch the interview below.

Koenig also talked about his support for Sanders on today’s episode of his Beats 1 show “Time Crisis.” He was joined by Despot, his cousin Asher Koenig, and Longstreth. Though audio of the episode hasn’t surfaced just yet, Koenig played excerpts from the pre-rally rehearsal. They also discussed Sanders’ alleged inelectability, his record, what his election would mean for the arts, and the problematic nature of the term “Bernie Bros.”
