Bernie Sanders' mittens

A man sitting slightly apart in big mittens, cut out and pasted into everything.

You might remember it as Bernie sitting, Bernie at the inauguration

A photograph

This Moment began as a photograph, not as a video.

The story

What this was

Brendan Smialowski photographed Bernie Sanders at the inauguration on 20 January 2021, arms folded, masked, in mittens a Vermont schoolteacher had made from recycled wool. Within a day he had been cut out and placed on the moon, on the subway, in Renaissance paintings. Sanders sold the sweatshirt and gave at least $1.8 million to charity.

It first appeared in 2021, during short-form and streams.

Behind the record

Where it came from

There is no original upload to identify: this Moment did not begin as one. ViralWorld holds no copy of it either — what it was, when it appeared and what people called it is the record.

Nothing here is claimed to be the first publication of this Moment, because the first publication was not an upload. This Moment began as a photograph, not as a video.

Not established. This index only names a creator where the evidence supports it.
