Bernie Sanders has once again stolen the internet’s heart this time by wearing the coat from the “I am once again asking” meme at President Joe Biden’s inauguration. And even now, an entire day later, the photo of the Vermont U.S. senator in his adorable woolen mittens seems to have awakened an insatiable hunger for more Bernie memes.
While some viewers admired Lady Gaga’s “Hunger Games”-style outfit or Michelle Obama’s gorgeous plum-colored ensemble, Sanders became the Twitter darling of the moment after a sweet, curmudgeonly photo of him at Capitol Hill began circulating on Wednesday.

The focus may have been on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who were officially sworn in as president and vice president of the United States on Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol, but Sanders might have stolen some of their thunder.
Instead of wearing a formal suit, the Vermont senator went with a casual look, wearing a buttoned up Burton coat and knit gloves that, according to Ruby Cramer of Buzzfeed News, were made by a Vermont teacher.
