Twitter Turns Bernie Sanders & His Mittens Into A Meme

The long-awaited Inauguration of Joe Biden took place on Wednesday, and with it, a fresh meme has been birthed of Bernie Sanders.

As thousands of spectators, politicians and servicemen and women descended onto Washington D.C. to witness Joe Biden be sworn into office alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, a photo of former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders seated cozily with his legs crossed wearing hand-knitted mittens has taken the internet by storm. The beloved U.S. Senator ran for president in both 2016 and 2020. One can only imagine the meme-worthy looks that Bernie would have served had he been elected to office. For now, take a look at some of Twitter’s best uses of the newest meme on the block.
