On a solemn day in Washington, thermometers showed plus 6 degrees. The stories of the mittens themselves are also interesting. They were given to Sanders by a Virginia schoolteacher, Ian Ellis. She made them just over two years ago from recycled wool sweaters. Plus, they have fleece liners made from recycled plastic bottles.
Photos of Sanders in mittens from inauguration went viral on social media
A photo of Sen. Bernie Sanders in a mitten from the inauguration of U.S. President Joe Biden went viral on social media.
Photos of Sanders, who sits in a warm twist, protective mask, and mittens, circulated on social media under the tag #berniesmittens. The temperature at that moment was 6 degrees. Users actively used photos to create memes and photo toads.
The mittens were made by Vermont teacher Jenna Ellis, who gave them to Sanders a few years ago, media reported. Ellis herself said on Twitter that she made them out of old sweaters.
Sanders himself also responded to questions about mittens. "In Vermont, we dress warmly, we know something about the cold. We don't care about fashion, we care about warmth," the senator told CBS news.
On Wednesday, the inauguration ceremony was held, during which Joe Biden was sworn in and assumed the office of President of the United States. Kamala Harris took over as Vice President of the United States. She became the first woman and the first "colored" figure in the post, which is considered the second most important in American politics.
Netizens reacted to the appearance of the politician with numerous memes and photo-toads, which immediately began to disperse on social networks. One of them added a blanket to Sanders.
However, there were those who paid attention to how calm and lonely the politician sat at that moment. One of the memes took Bernie Sanders to the subway car and to the hospital.
Recall that today Joe Biden took office as President of the United States. He took the oath of office during the inauguration ceremony, which takes place at the Capitol in Washington. Earlier, Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, left the White House. He flew to Florida, promising to return "in one form or another." During the ceremony, the president-elect honored the memory of Americans who died from the effects of the coronavirus, and immediately promised to immediately begin work in his new position.
