It was to be expected that in times of a global pandemic the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would be special. However, it came unexpectedly that there was a secret star participating. No, we’re not talking about the usual celebrities, but rather about a man wearing woolen mittens and sitting on a folding chair. Right, we’re talking about Bernie Sanders! The Vermont Senator wore the same greenish outdoorsy jacket he always wears and the same cheap surgical mask as everyone of us and the internet is loving him for it. Since inauguration, Bernie Sanders has come around a lot and reappeared in the strangest places. Including mittens and folding chair, of course. And Bernie even figured out a way to turn this craziness into something good. Thank you, Bernie!

Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt. She gave them to him 2+ years ago and was surprised when he began wearing them on the campaign trail. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. pic.twitter.com/ErLr29lY2t

Lol Bernie Sanders threw his meme on a sweatshirt. Charged $45 for it. Sold out immediately in all sizes. Then donated 100% of the proceeds to Meals on Wheels Vermont
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
