Me too. I'm seeing all the memes but just don't get it at all.

I don't watch the news or TV anymore so I'm sure I missed whatever it is about.


Eh...wot?

It was just Bernie sitting at the inauguration. For whatever reason it has taken off like wildfire. It is pretty funny!

The first place I saw the picture was in a segment with a headline about how expensive the clothes were that the communist was wearing . I didn't watch the segment so I have no further info

Its just literally what Bernie is...a bitter, curmudgeonly socialist. Apparently its the perfect picture for photoshop as the memes are everywhere

So was he wearing the mittens or are they an added feature?

That's him at the inauguration and then 10,000 derivatives after that.

Yea he was wearing the mittens. Their wasn’t a taxpayers pockets nearby, so he had to keep his hands warm a different way.

He's worn them before. They're not special really other than they are repurposed sweaters.

You'd think he could at least get a half decent mask not just use the freebee he scored at the entrance to walmart.

Bernie didn't fit in at the inauguration

He shoulda worn some camo, that would have really stirred them up

Some woman knitted those mittens for him and sent them to him and he wore them to the inauguration. It was a PR stunt to show how down to earth and grandfatherly Bernie is.

If they were homemade from a re purposed sweater then good for him, as far as I'm concerned.

What this really says, is that the media will be more concerned with what the new regime is wearing for the next four years than what it is doing.
