In reply to the discussion: Celebrated Photographer: Yes, that is Bernie Sanders. Time Magazine is lying [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)and he went into a long discourse over the picture first appearing in Time Magazine, with Bernie in the photo caption, and then "Time" said that they had gotten it fro U of C. He then said that U of C alumni started calling and writing that it was Bruce Rappaport and not Bernie. The widow of Rappaport then contacted Capehart (or Capehart contacted her) and he talked to her and has a transcript that he hasn't transcribed it into print yet.
THEN he added that the photographer has contacted him and says that he is convinced that the photo is of Bernie and not Rappaport. Andrea concluded the interview with something like "....and, so the story continues."
Hopefully the photographer will be contacted by media so he can give his version rather than relying solely on than Bruce Rappaport's widow. And, that Chris Matthews and others will have to retract, unless it becomes a "he said...she said." Anyway, Bernie knows he was there and that's what is important, here. It sure looks like a young Bernie to me and others.
