Money Making Bernie Turns Viral Meme Into Sweatshirt For Charity
Bernie Sanders is well aware that his inauguration drip has created a string of viral memes across the internet, and now he is an internet sensation. Maybe he could even drop his political career and be an influencer!
All jokes aside, Bernie is using his insta-fame and has created a sweatshirt with the viral meme. All of the proceeds will go to charity.
“In Vermont, we dress warm — we know something about the cold, and we’re not so concerned about good fashion. We want to keep warm, and that’s what I did today,” he told CBS News when asked about his fashion choice.

The “Chairman Sanders Crewneck” is on sale for $45, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to Meals on Wheels Vermont. The sweater is already extremely popular and has reportedly caused an influx of orders.
“Due to overwhelming demand for this item, it may be a few weeks until you receive your sweatshirt”, the site writes.
When asked about his viral moment during an interview with Seth Meyers on Late Night Thursday, Sanders said, “I was just sitting there, trying to keep warm, trying to pay attention to what was going on.”
