Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) told The New York Times editorial board in an interview that he recognizes the importance of communicating to millions of people via social media. He said he takes it "very seriously" and "every now and then" even goes so far as to send out a tweet he wrote himself. But he apparently doesn't do that from his phone.
When asked if he had any apps on his phone that might surprise people, Sanders responded "nothing" before claiming he doesn't have any apps on his phone, period.
