Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders became a hero of memes on social networks because of his appearance at the inauguration ceremony of the 46th President of the United States Joe Biden. Related posts appeared in Twitter .
The American politician appeared at the event in clothes that did not correspond to the formal dress code. He was captured in the Burton brand park, which specializes in equipment for snowboarders. It is also known that the brand was founded in the state of Vermont, which Sanders has represented in the Senate since 2007.
The image of the 79-year-old politician was complemented by mittens, which were knitted and presented to Sanders by teacher Jen Ellis. It is noted that the woman makes mittens using yarn from old sweaters and fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. She sells such items in her Twitter -account.
The appearance of the senator, sitting in a separate chair in a medical mask, amused netizens. Users started using Photoshop to add Sanders’ image to screenshots of famous films, TV series and music videos.
In addition, in social networks there were comic pictures of the politician next to other celebrities, for example, the singer Jennifer Lopez, rapper Cardi B, pop singer Britney Spears, and characters from Sex and the City.
Earlier in January, the American singer Lady Gaga was caught copying Alla Pugacheva’s dress at Biden’s inauguration. She spoke at the event in a fitted navy blue jacket and a fluffy red skirt. Users compared her image with the Pugacheva costume, in which she was captured at the anniversary concert in the Kremlin in 2019.
