A photo of Sanders’ look during President Joe Biden’s inauguration went viral on social media starting on Tuesday. Memes of the senator quickly spread and are still going strong.
You may have noticed #Bernie and #Berniememes on Twitter.
Bernie Sanders sought the Democratic Party’s 2020 nomination for president and even though that didn’t go as planned, he supported Joe Biden and attended his inauguration.
Unlike most people, Sanders decided to get simply dressed for the ceremony and wear layers as it’s cold around this time in Washington.
His outfit and a photograph of him sitting on a chair have gone viral and have become a meme.
