In an interview with ’60 minutes’ on Sunday, when asked if he was the change agent, he gave a savage reply. Sanders said, “I truly make a difference. I make folks nervous, man, get folks moving in their seat. I get folks twirling their thumbs, get them thinking and second guessing.“

To add to that, he also talked about his style that inspires people, “You know, have you ever been so clean that you walked in and somebody looked down at you, then they looked at themselves. They had to check themselves because you were so clean. I have that effect”.
