Bernie Sanders turned his inauguration meme into a sweatshirt to raise money for charity

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/bernie-sanders-meme-inauguration-sweatshirt-charity-1117854/


On Wednesday, the Vermont senator was photographed sitting in a chair wearing a Burton parka, hand-knit mittens, and a surgical blue mask. The image went viral as people edited Sanders into everything from iconic New York locations to scenes from popular movies. A student at New York University even created a website so people could place the photo anywhere in the world.

A crewneck sweatshirt featuring the image was then made available to purchase on Sanders' website for $45. After initially selling out, the sweatshirt is back in stock in sizes S-2X. A representative for Sanders did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment on how much stock is left.

The website also notes that due to overwhelming demand, it will take three to six weeks to receive your order. 

According to the product description, 100% of the proceeds will go toward Meals on Wheels Vermont.
