After their meeting, Cardi B took to Instagram to thank Sanders .

Sharing a photo of them sitting together, deep in discussion, Cardi wrote: "Not me, US. Thank you Senator Bernie Sanders for sitting with me and sharing your plans on how you will change this country. A couple of weeks ago I asked my followers if you had the opportunity to have a question answered by a democratic candidate what would it be ? I got a lot of submission and selected the most popular questions to get answered. Stay tuned to see how he will fight for economic, racial, and social justice for all.
