About

"Yeah, Good. OK." is a memorable quote uttered by Senator Bernie Sanders to hedge fund manager Tom Steyer at the Democratic Party Presidential Primary Debate in January 2020. The phrase has since been used as an expression of dismissiveness online.

Online

On January 15th, 2020, CNN reported on audio from a hot mic of Senator Elizabeth Warren accusing Senator Sanders of calling her a "liar on national TV." After the two decide to discuss the issue later, Steyer interrupts the conversation and says, "I don't want to get in the middle of it--I just want to say 'hi' to Bernie," to which Sanders responded, "Yeah, good. OK."

Within one week of being uploaded to YouTube, the video received more than 590,000 views (shown below).



Spread

Following the release of the audio, people began meme-ing the expression, particularly using an illustration of Sanders that evokes the Yes Chad meme. The image was originally posted on January 11th, 2020 by Redditor[4][5] fighting_bob (shown below).
