Here are some of the best Bernie Sanders memes from the inauguration

A meme was born on Wednesday when Bernie Sanders took his mittens to Washington, DC.

The 79-year-old Vermont senator became the toast of social media after being pictured in a low-key parka and multicolored hand-knit mittens during President Biden’s inauguration.

A now-iconic photo of a bundled-up Sanders, sitting alone in a folding chair with his arms and legs crossed, immediately became a hit — especially in his New York City hometown.

Filmmaker and influencer New York Nico quickly got to work posting images of Brooklyn-born Sanders edited into Big Apple scenes — including next to a hot dog stand, in a park and on the subway.

Actress and NYC scene-maker Chloë Sevigny also contributed to the viral sensation, posting a photo that showed Sanders sitting next to her and Pauly D, from MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” at Madison Square Garden.
