Senator Bernie Sanders is drawing attention as he is regarded as the best ‘scene stealer’ of the inauguration of President Joe Biden.



At the inauguration ceremony of the US president on the 20th local time, high-ranking officials from all walks of life dressed up in suits and mobilized.

But it was Senator Sanders who received the most spotlight among them.




Senator Sanders, aged 80 this year, is a big politician who has been a two-time Democratic presidential nominee, but appeared at the inauguration ceremony in a simple and practical style.

He wore a light beige jumper with a hat all the way to the chin to prevent wind from entering, and he was heavily armed with colorful striped fur gloves.



Most of the male attendees stood out because they were quite the opposite of wearing suits, coats, ties, and leather gloves that fit perfectly on their hands.




When unexpected attention was poured out, Senator Sanders shuddered in an interview with CBS News after the inauguration ceremony, saying, "We wear warmly in Vermont. We don't think much about great fashion."



Vermont is located in the northern United States, bordering Quebec, Canada.




Two days have passed since the inauguration ceremony, but on social media, Senator Sanders' image is used as a meme, an online composite photo, and is attracting attention.



'People for Bunny', the official account of Sanders supporters, is holding a'Meme Contest', and when you enter your address or zip code, a photo of Senator Sanders sitting at the address has appeared.




Meanwhile, it was known that the fur gloves worn by Senator Sanders on the day of the inauguration ceremony were hand-knitted gloves from a supporter two years ago.

The person who presented the gloves said, "It is a great honor for Senator Sanders to wear gloves on this day."
