Bernie Sanders having 'fun' with meme status, urging supporters to donate to charity

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was one of the most talked about people at President Biden’s inauguration with his bundled up appearance (mittens and winter coat made in Vermont, naturally). Sanders’ photo was turned into a meme that lasted on social media for several days.

Sanders quickly started selling merchandise, including an already sold-out sweatshirt, based on the meme to raise money for Vermont Meals on Wheels and other charities.

The senator spoke about the last few days during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“Not only are we having fun but what we are doing here in Vermont is we’re going to be selling around the country sweatshirts and T-shirts,” Sanders. “And with all the money that we’re going to be raising, which I expected is going to be a couple of million dollars, will be going to programs like Meals on Wheels and feed low-income seniors.”

1. Meals on Wheels is a wonderful program for many seniors. That is one program I would love to

see funded and expanded during this pandemic. Older folks would not have to worry about getting out to buy groceries.

2. The country needs to have fun and get silly.

Part of our healing.
