Leave it to Bernie Sanders to star in the funniest meme to come out of President Joe Bidenâs inauguration.Â
On January 20, Twitter users
lost it when the Vermont senator and former presidential candidate arrived at the U.S. Capitol clutching a manila envelope between his very warm, mitten-clad hands.
âBernie is your uncle who walks into your graduation dinner, hands you a check he just ripped out of his checkbook, no card, and asks the waiter where the nearest UPS Dropbox is because he needs to return something while heâs out,â writer R. Eric Thomas tweeted.

Today’s US presidential inauguration brought many good things, but the thing Twitter seems most excited about is a new crop of Bernie memes.
The meme started with a wire photo of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), sitting on a folding chair watching President Joe Biden’s inauguration. The temperature in Washington, DC was in the 40s, so he’s bundled up with a coat and mittens, and he’s sitting socially distanced from everyone else, as his age and prior health issues put him at severe risk for COVID-19.

Bernie Sanders unintentionally stole the spotlight at the presidential inauguration Wednesday, and he did it with a pair of patterned mittens.
Eagle-eyed Twitter users spotted the distinct hand accessory and made it a point to share their thoughts and jokes about the Vermont senator’s fashion choice. Bernie Sanders showed up to the #InaugurationDay proceedings looking like a man who was preparing to shovel the driveway, a man who was about to get into his Subaru Forester and head to the grocery store. Iconic, New York Magazine’s fashion vertical The Cut joked in a tweet.
