Those watching Glover make a pitch for Sanders reported that the actor made the history books #FeelTheBern with more than one thing he said:

At Sanders rally, Danny Glover flunks history, calling MD a state that seceded from the Union.

I am pretty sure Danny Glover just said Maryland seceded from the Union (at Bernie Sanders' rally) — I am pretty sure that's not right

Danny Glover just said Maryland seceded from the Union. It didn't

Glover also dabbled in philosophy, according to a reporter on the scene:

Pretty sure Danny Glover just called Dante "a great French philosopher"

— Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) April 23, 2016

Just marveling that Danny Glover both made Dante a French philosopher and Maryland part of the Confederacy introducing Bernie Sanders

Since there’s also such a thing as “free college” in Sanders-land, maybe anything goes when it comes to historical facts as well.
