"[Bernie Sanders,] a 73-year-old Jew _from Brooklyn via Vermont_ ..."
Shouldn't that be
"... a 73-year-old Jew _from Vermont via Brooklyn_ ..."?
Or have I, once again, fallen behind the curve of language-change?
(Bernie Sanders is a Jew?! That's odd. He doesn't look Jewish. Those of a
certain age may recognize the reference.)
