At inauguration, Bernie's winter coat and mittens steal the show, win the internet
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSYR) — Vermont Senator and former Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has taken over the internet, and becoming the dominant meme of 2021 so far.
Sanders, captured by still and television cameras Wednesday sitting socially distanced and bundled up against the cold at President Joe Biden's inauguration, was just too perfect for the internet to ignore.
Soon, images of Sanders showed up on most social media platforms merged with other screenshots taken from movies, news, pop culture, and other memes. Sanders is seen sitting on a subway, in the iconic photo of workers lunching on a skyscraper, with superheroes, and even aboard the Starship Enterprise.
