Controversy Surrounding His Birth :

During his father’s campaigns for various senate roles, many right-wing conservatives had raised his birth as a controversial issue.
Bernie has said that they made a bigger deal out of it then what it was, and that as it is considered normal in the modern world they should treat it as such.
Levi was mistakenly identified in his father’s 2006 Senate campaign as coming from his father’s first wife, whom he divorced a year prior to beginning a relationship with Susan Mott.

It was initially reported that Bernie’s conservative advisors published this information, in an effort to make him appeal to a more right-wing audience. However, it was later discovered that it was a simple journalistic error.
