Christopher Lloyd Dresses as Doc Brown to Hang out With Bernie Sanders

It appears Dr. Emmett Brown is a fan of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

On Wednesday afternoon — also Back to the Future Day, as it is the moment Marty McFly travels to from 1985 — Sanders posted a picture over social media with actor Christopher Lloyd dressed as his iconic character. 

Tell me, future boy, who’s President of the United States in 2017? “Bernie Sanders.” Bernie Sanders?! From Vermont? pic.twitter.com/saXRY3aguV

Lloyd’s agent, Bob Gersh, confirmed it was Lloyd but offered no other details.
