Bernie Sanders fully embraced his viral moment in Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration.
The Vermont senator’s team recently debuted a “Chairman Sanders Crewneck” sweater that shows a masked Sanders sitting with his arms folded in his folding chair and comfortable gloves – a moment that was widely teased and celebrated on social media.
“Vermont jacket, Vermont gloves, Vermont common sense,” says the sweater’s product page at the Bernie Campaign Store.

Sanders’ defenders will have to spend slightly more than the average $ 27 donation that the Vermont senator boasted of in his last presidential election.
President Sanders Crewneck sells for $ 45. However, 100% of the proceeds will go to Meals on Wheels Vermont, according to the Sanders campaign website.
Sanders’ team hasn’t yet promoted the sweater, but that hasn’t stopped social media users from discovering the brand’s products.
