US Senator Bernie Sanders, the most famous man on social media, has turned his meme into something positive.
Sanders was captured at President Joe Biden’s inauguration by Brendan Smialowski, a Washington-based photojournalist who covers politics.
In the picture taken, he is seen wearing oversized mittens and a practical brown coat, seated on a folding chair in keeping with social-distancing protocols.
He has his arms and legs crossed.
Since then, the image has gone viral and has been photoshopped into historical moments, movie scenes, famous paintings and more.
