Bernie Sanders and his mittens win social media during Biden’s big moment
Joe Biden is president, but Bernie Sanders won Inauguration Day. The independent Vermont senator set Twitter ablaze Wednesday. The reason: his no-nonsense weather-proofing at the Presidential Inauguration.

Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt. She gave them to him 2+ years ago and was surprised when he began wearing them on the campaign trail. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. pic.twitter.com/ErLr29lY2t

The woman behind Bernie Sanders' mittens worn at President Joe Biden's inauguration has been flooded with requests. But they're no longer for sale.
Last week, the Sanders campaign store started selling sweatshirts featuring the photo that inspired the countless memes. All proceeds are going to Meals on Wheels programs in Vermont.
There were plenty of bold fashion statements at the inauguration, but it was Bernie Sanders "grumpy chic" look that stole the show. Here's how to get it.
