The Washington Post provides a series of excuses for him.

By the time Larry David appeared on “Saturday Night Live” to spoof Bernie Sanders in early February, his talking point about his campaign’s average donation being $27 was already well known enough to be a punchline.
That was two-and-a-half months — and a whole lot of individual contributions — ago. And yet, Sanders still regularly mentions the same stat: His average donation is $27. Here he is in Arizona at the end of last month.
He even mentioned it at Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate. Which prompts a natural question: How? How is it that the average has stayed so consistent over time?
