Sen. Bernie Sanders arrived at the inauguration for Joe Biden wearing giant mittens and with an armful of what looks like mail. Is he off to the post office after this?

And this is quickly becoming the meme of the day. Note, he’s wearing the same jacket in the other much-memed photo of the elderly socialist from Vermont:

Everyone else is at the Inauguration. Bernie Sanders is at his grandson's soccer match. https://t.co/0qgPAqtoFk
