Bernie Sanders celebrated his first Super Tuesday win in Vermont with a rally in his home state Tuesday evening. "It is good to be home," Sanders said, after decisively defeating Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in Vermont. "It means so much to me that the people who know me best... have voted so strongly to put us in the White House."
Sanders' calls to confront "ugly truths" — including income inequality, campaign finance corruption, and America's high incarceration rates — were met with roaring cheers from the crowd. "I am so proud to bring Vermont values all across this country," he said.
