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. Sanders is one of a few presidential hopefuls having fun with their 404 page. That’s the page on a website that comes up when a user enters an address for a page that doesn’t exist.

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.
