A single, magic moment on camera can resonate for decades.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was repeatedly interrupted by what sounded like a Skype ringtone during a virtual interview on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

Sanders was trying to discuss former Vice President Joe Biden's choice of running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and other topics when he was interrupted four times by the ringtone.

"I think you're getting a phone call. ... Yeah, I can hear you, I think someone's calling you," host Jake Tapper told Sanders.

Sanders seemed unfazed by the noise and kept talking.

"I think you have an urgent phone call — hope everything's OK," Tapper said when Sanders signed off.

Sanders is now throwing his full support behind Biden, his former 2020 rival, in the general election. Sanders will speak during Day One of the mostly virtual Democratic National Convention on Monday.
