Priced at $45, the sweatshirt was being sold on Sanders‘ campaign website but has since sold out. Sanders himself isn’t cashing in on what became a viral meme. Instead, all proceeds are going to Meals on Wheels Vermont, according to the website.
Sanders told CBS This Morning’s Gayle King on Wednesday that he wasn’t concerned about fashion but rather about warmth.
Hours after his inauguration look inadvertently went viral, Sen. Bernie Sanders told CBS News’ @GayleKing, “You know, in Vermont, we dress warm.” https://t.co/Q4VDPVskTapic.twitter.com/HPNLMAaIWI
“In Vermont, we dress warm – we know something about the cold. And we’re not so concerned about good fashion,” he told King. “We want to keep warm. And that’s what I did today.”
