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. These are a few of my favorites, and one I made with our tractor.
