Photo of Bernie Sanders sitting at inauguration becomes internet meme
At President Joe Biden’s inauguration Wednesday, longtime Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders took a seat in a folding chair, crossed his legs and hands, and waited for the ceremonies to begin.
But there was something about his posture – or the fact he wasn’t sitting near anyone… or maybe it was the slightly disgruntled look on his face – that just spoke to a lot of people on the internet.

Do you like Sanders’ gloves? They’re handmade by a Vermonter from repurposed wool sweaters – and they’re lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. So on brand.
I made Bernie’s mittens as a gift a couple years ago. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece (made from recycled plastic bottles). #BerniesMittens pic.twitter.com/lTXFJvVy9V

Like a thrifty New Englander, it appeared as though Sanders was wearing the same coat that appears in a very popular meme.
Wait, is Bernie is wearing the same jacket from his meme at the inauguration? pic.twitter.com/q0DtVNpZbB

And of course, don’t forget the Photoshop jobs.
