Brooklyn, New York (CNN) Bernie Sanders on Saturday spoke about his father's escape from Europe, where "virtually his entire family there was wiped out by Hitler and Nazi barbarism." But then, in the midst of delivering the most personal remarks of his political career at the first major rally of his 2020 campaign, Sanders veered off the somber script. "I came from a family who knew all too well the frightening power employers can have over everyday workers." On Sunday, after a stop in Selma, Alabama, Sanders will return to Chicago for a speech expected to address his political awakening. A day earlier, Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner told CNN that after 2016, the Vermont senator had a new task and that it was up to him to deliver.
