Senator Bernie Sanders sit socially distanced as he attends the Presidential Inauguration of Joe Biden. Senator Bernie Sanders, the famed curmudgeon photographed at President Joe Biden's inauguration wearing mittens and a scowl behind his facemask in an image that instantly became a meme, said on Sunday he was happy it may help raise millions for charity. "So, it turns out actually to be a good thing, and not only a fun thing," he said. Vermont teacher Jen Ellis said on Twitter that she gifted Sanders the mittens, which she knitted from repurposed wool sweaters, two years ago. "I'm convinced Sen. Sanders would have dressed exactly the same to his own inauguration had he won," said one Twitter user.
