Bernie Sanders on becoming a meme: ‘I was just sitting there, trying to keep warm’

Sure, some people might be sick of seeing masked Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in a chair, arms crossed, in statement mittens, looking like he has somewhere else to be at President Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony.

Former presidential candidate, Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) sits in the bleachers on Capitol Hill before Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th US President on January 20, 2021, at the US Capitol in Washington, DC.

But more than a hundred Boston.com readers are not yet tired of the joke.

Since the iconic photo by AFP photographer Brendan Smialowski has spread like wildfire, and Bernie Sanders, has “traveled” to more places in the past week than most did in all of last year. The Bernie Sanders campaign released a sweatshirt that benefits Meals on Wheels Vermont, he’s a cardboard cutout, and his chair has been sighted outside of local businesses, and in priceless artworks. A cute crochet doll of the viral moment is already up to $15,000 at auction on eBay. When questioned about the look, Sanders explained ‘‘I was just sitting there, trying to keep warm.” We asked readers to share their favorite Bernie Sanders memes with us for fun. The submissions were silly, both local and national, and an overall, creative good time.
