The mittens, the pose, the social distancing -- they all helped a photo of Senator Bernie Sanders at the inauguration become an internet sensation. And now the image can be part of your wardrobe.

Sanders' campaign store is selling sweatshirts featuring the photo that inspired countless memes, and all the proceeds are going to Meals on Wheels programs in Sanders' home state of Vermont.

2. Ah you're just getting that now???

16. Since he will likely never run again

The fear he instills now is allayed, and he's trending as a cute caricature, neutered and harmless. That radical left wing danger has passed. AOC take note. To me he is an icon and a treasure who was kept from making a bigger impact.

3. He could make a small fortune selling Bernie mittens. nt

My wife showed me, saying, ‘why is Bernie Sanders sitting on the sidewalk outside?’

5. He's also an old man

and social distancing is very much in his self interest.

6. Anything that benefits meals on wheels is a ok in my book

7. When I learned earlier today in another thread

that you could purchase one of those sweatshirts I went to his site immediately. It said that due to popular demand you would have to wait 4-8 weeks to get it, but adding it to the cart was not an option. Anyone else have any luck ordering one?

18. With emphasis on the word "act." He certainly knew how to draw attention.

If he'd worn his black coat, he's probably to have been much noticed on the day of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's inauguration.
