Sen. Bernie Sanders recorded a video for visitors to his campaign website who try to navigate to webpages that don't exist.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is on board with the latest trend among prominent politicians, and not just because he's running for president.

For example, if you're trying to find Sanders’ “About” page on his campaign website, and you accidentally type in “berniesanders.com/aboot” with a misspelling of “about” in the address, there’s no page there.

But as Mediaite has reported, presidential candidates hoping for a victory in 2016 have been having some fun with these pages.
