Update: Below is a transcript of the senator’s comments:

Bernie Sanders: “Here it is. This from Nick Costantino: ‘Astor, a Martian, knows nothing of the countries of our world, and wishes for you to describe the United States. What do you tell Astor?’ “I tell Astor that the United States has a history that we should be extraordinarily proud of. We have a constitution which is the envy of the world. We are a nation made up of immigrants, people from all over the world who bring so much to our country. “But what I would also tell Astor is that today our country faces very, very serious problems in terms of a declining middle class, income and wealth inequality, climate change, and many other issues. And that if we are going to be successful as a nation, we can’t allow ourselves to be divided up. We’ve got to come together to create in this nation — the wealthiest in the history of the world — a country that works for all people, not just the few on the top.”
