The senator for Vermont certainly looked snug, and he was – it turned out – supporting a local crafter, Jen Ellis.
Bernie’s mittens are made by Jen Ellis, a teacher from Essex Junction, Vt. She gave them to him 2+ years ago and was surprised when he began wearing them on the campaign trail. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece made from recycled plastic bottles. pic.twitter.com/ErLr29lY2t

However eco-friendly and practical he was being, it didn’t stop him from inspiring a meme.
