Bernie Sanders was probably the last face John Kasich supporters expected to see Wednesday at a rally in Ohio. A man dressed up as the Democrat made an appearance at the event, shouting in character as Sanders, complaining about the economy and even [giving Kasich praise for his calm debate performances](http://time.com/4091377/republican-debate-john-kasich/). “Hello, I just want to say I disagree with the young man’s numbers,” the Sanders impersonator announced after Kasich called him up. “I want to thank you for bringing a little class to the Republican debates.” The performance [may give](http://time.com/4211061/bernie-sanders-larry-david-saturday-night-live/) comedian Larry David’s [appearance as Sanders on _Saturday Night Live_ a run for its money](http://time.com/4211061/bernie-sanders-larry-david-saturday-night-live/)—including the bit at the end where he takes a selfie with Kasich using a flip-phone that only a parody of Sanders would own. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4253287/bernie-sanders-impersonator-kasich-rally/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4253287/bernie-sanders-impersonator-kasich-rally/"},"headline":"Watch a Bernie Sanders Impersonator Crash a John Kasich Rally","datePublished":"2016-03-09T22:46:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:45:50.997Z","description":"This guy gives Larry David a run for his money","url":"https://time.com/4253287/bernie-sanders-impersonator-kasich-rally/","keywords":["2016 Election","republicans","2016 Election topic","Ohio","Bernie Sanders","john kasich"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb549c44fff3cb048/69888a5f5f570f5217b1ff74/gettyimages-514078942.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb549c44fff3cb048/69888a5f5f570f5217b1ff74/gettyimages-514078942.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GettyImages-514078942","caption":"","creditText":"Ty Wright","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4253287/bernie-sanders-impersonator-kasich-rally/","name":"Watch a Bernie Sanders Impersonator Crash a John Kasich Rally"}}]}] ```
