Bernie Sanders and his mittens have been burning up social media since yesterday's Inauguration. A 79-year-old meme fashionista. I had run across this tweet last night about how Bernie happened to get the comfy looking mittens that are now in high demand . They even have their own twitter account that you can follow. Plus Bernie's Mittens are eco friendly. Meme and 1Thing Win!

How do you get a pair? If you saw this post last night, and got excited about getting Bernie's Mittens , then disappointment sets in. It's a post from last year.

Jen Ellis has gotten over 6,000 emails for mittens. Here's her recent tweet.
