What is it about Bernie Sanders? What is this effervescent charm, universal appeal, and magnetic hold he has on us that just by sitting, we are all …sMITTEN? The American politician is not the only one to constantly be featured in photoshopped variations, especially when from Lady Gaga to Katy Perry, President Joe Biden's entire inauguration was meme-worthy. Yet, none as versatile as this. You can literally put the man anywhere and it makes sense.
Bernie Sanders' response
And of course, being the good guy that he is, the former Democratic presidential contender has turned the silly event into a good cause. Not only are the newly famous mittens a gift from Vermont teacher Jen Ellis made from repurposed wool sweaters and recycled plastic bottles, Sanders' official site took preorders for sweatshirts imprinted with the image for charity. It has since been sold out.
100% of the proceeds will benefit Meals on Wheels Vermont. https://t.co/E9cHB56JMk
