Democratic presidential challenger Bernie Sanders pushed New Yorkers to “lead this country into the political revolution” at a Saturday-morning rally in Washington Heights.

The crowd booed when Sanders noted New York is “Secretary Clinton’s adopted home state.”

“That’s not a crime,” the Brooklyn-born Sanders joked in response.

“So if we can win here it opens the door to victory to the White House,” he said, saying that a high voter turnout in the all-important April 19 New York primary, when 291 delegates will be allocated, could vault him past the frontrunner.

Current polling averages have Clinton in the lead in New York by 13 percentage points.

Sanders was scheduled to hold rallies later on Saturday in Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens.
