Social media users quickly spotted a resemblance in Politico's artwork depicting Sanders in the tweet. Many felt, in fact, that Politico's image closely resembled the actor Chevy Chase!

The Politico Sanders/Chase portrait sparked comparisons of the politician's and the actor's looks. Both men are in their 70s, sport balding white hair, and wear glasses. With these similarities, it's surprising that it took this long for someone to make the connection.
