An image of US Senator Bernie Sanders sitting in isolation, waiting for the Biden-Harris swearing-in on January 20 has turned into a hilarious meme. While Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States and Kamala Harris as the Vice President, social media users were quick to make some memes featuring Sanders, even before the inauguration ceremony was over. Sanders was photographed sitting crosslegged, wearing mittens and mask after which his picture became a subject of hilarious posts. 

As Sanders is a former challenger of Biden during the Democratic primaries, many netizens joked that the Vermont Senator must be in foul mood sitting at his rival’s inauguration. Many even pointed out and made fun of his patterned brown wool mittens, but BBC informed that there is a sweet story behind his distinctive winter wear. According to the media outlet, Sanders’ mittens were made by a school teacher from his home state, using repurposed wool sweaters and recycled plastic bottles. However, the wholesome story didn’t stop internet users from making the senator a viral meme.
