Twitter loved Larry David as Bernie Sanders on #SNL. Except Andrea Mitchell. She liked some guy named 'Alex Baldwin'

On last night’s “Saturday Night Live,” comedian Larry David made a surprise — and well received — cameo appearance as Dem presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Check it out:

Independent Journal posted a great .Gif with the actual debate and the SNL version to show just how well David did portraying the socialist:

David really does sound like Sanders. Even the real Bernie Sanders agrees:

Andrea Mitchell liked the performance, too — just as soon as she figured out who was who, that is. She got a little confused between Larry David and Alec Baldwin who played Jim Webb in the skit:

“Alex”?

At least she figured it out, but not before many jumped in to mock the often tongue-tied anchor:
