The Senator from Vermont becomes a delightful meme.
Senator Bernie Sanders once again became the star of a countrywide internet meme, with his comfy inauguration attire – a Vermont-sensible beige parka, oversize mittens that he got from a local schoolteacher – almost stealing the show from the more traditionally fashionable attire donned by everyone else. Sanders's look, completed by a grumpy demeanor and black metal folding chair, has become web fodder over the past 24 hours, with this now-iconic image being placed in a whole variety of situations, including Broadway shows. Here are some of our favorites, from the wide range of content creators across social media.
