I love that lady! She’s the kindness we need in this country
How about you just be like her yourself towards others. Its pay it forward
it went viral because of the immense love and respect people have for Senator Sanders who truly represents us!
True.
That's the reason We love Bernie. He is one of a kind. Authentic, and humble.
the left loves him so much that they let bernie get cheated in the dnc primaries by hillary and then by quid pro joe (who obviously cheated big time).
Bernie in 2016: The corrupt millionaires and billionaires. . . .
Bernie's campaign buys his book and he becomes a millionaire
Bernie in 2020: The corrupt billionaires . . . .
Still Bernie. The President the world wanted!
@@raginrhino7604 His tax policies still never changed though. Why the dishonesty?
@@MiguelLopez-sk1pf They did if you were watching his speeches. At first he wanted to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires. Then just billionaires.
Bernie never cared about anything he said. He simple towed a line that he knew would appeal to young and stupid people then leveraged their support to increase his wealth.
I love how Bernie Sanders can steal the show at Joe Biden's inauguration. Imagine if it was Bernie Sanders' inauguration
She was on VPR (my local NPR syndicate) this morning and she DEFINITELY stole the show. Every host was talking about her all morning.
Joe would have just been wearing a frown :(
Don't think he would wear mittens to his own inauguration.
I'd hope that he isn't assassinated by his own Secret Service. Just saying that folks who rock the boat don't last long. Like JFK, RFK, and MLK.
@@kbbl102.5 who??
Bernie Sanders is such a genuine person.. really, really like him.
Really? He sold out his base in 2016 to keep his good graces in the Democratic party.
@Shiranthi Javakodi
Bernie's the best! 😊
@@raginrhino7604 no, the DNC sold him out, cause they weren't expecting him to do so well, and it was Hillary's "turn" stupid idiots.
@@RamenNoodle1985 Then he should have run as an independent. He chose the party over his people.
@@raginrhino7604 he can do that on a state level, but because we have a 2 party system, and have since the first continental congress, he had to pick one. And he's more closely aligned with democrats than Republicans.
The only person who's come close to running a third party election was Ross Perot, and even with all his millions couldn't make it work.
So He wears a Pair of Homemade. HIS HOME mind you Vermont. Made from old sweater by a 2nd grade teacher. not a 500 dollar pair of Leather Fox Fur lined gloves. I kinda didn't think he was all that till seeing this. I Like the guy now!
A little late to the party
@@DarkManagerful Well you sent the party invites thru the Postal Service. Im still waiting for it!
@@ajjamz Lmao i’m dead 😂
You Americans should have had him as POTUS 2X but disappointed us all by overlooking him. You would actually have real freedoms on par with other 1st world nations by now
Absolutely!
It's not the mittens, it's the fact that Bernie Sanders was wearing mittens.
So adorable. I love his mittens💗
It’s also about the woman who made it. She is so sweet
That too.
Because he's a smart man. Mittens keep your hands warmer than gloves 👌
that's what I thought. We weren't thinking of those mittens, it was definitely his whole demeanor just sitting and waiting LMBO!!
Bernie always represents. Always. Cameras love a beautiful ballgown, but this country was built by hard working weather dressed people. Respect to Bernie.
Hello there
How are you doing?
I love Bernie ♥️
@@haggardlouis2809 Hitting on someone through UA-cam in a comment section under a barely newsflash vid? Fucking virgin, get a fucking life you loser.
Bernie has never worked a hard day in his life. You realize that right? Lol
Leave him alone. Old man needs mittens to keep his hands warm.
🤣🤣🤣
Please leave Bernie Alone!
Nobody is making fun of him they just find the mittens funny 😆
Burningplumbranches: Nobody is picking on Bernie. We all need to keep our hands warm. He doesn't give a fig about fashion, yet he creates it by his 5 year old mittens. He is a beloved figure and all of these memes are a tribute to him.
😂
Love Bernie! What you see is what you get with Bernie. No false pretense.
Ahhh... handmade with love... isn’t that special?!
yes
No
I'm white, can I still get a pair of these even tho my skin color is wrong?
@@only2genders02 huh? You don't get whiter than Bernie.
@@2mangos I know. But I'm a white normie man with zero white guilt. I know that liberals hate that. I mean, what if they ask me for my pronouns when I order them? Or worse yet, my race and gender? I just want some mittens.
He also wore those mittens in his last campaign. Much love for Bernie❤️
♥️same here
Another socialist. Get to work.
@@johnjaso385 😏 do you even understand the meaning of the word 🤔 go to bed kid
@@rularules9070 do you understand the meaning entitlement? No one owes you anything, contrary to your belief. Get a job.
John Jaso why is it always the idiots with pictures of them in their cars that say the dumbest shit
We love Bernie!
NO one loves that Commie
@@genxer6928 yes we do
No WE don't love Bernie. Bums love Bernie.
@Starminor you’d think they would have gotten the message from this election that they’re not the majority in this country. I’m so sick of these idiots spouting “we the people” when they’ve lost the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 general elections.
@@genxer6928 his constituents obviously love him because they keep re-electing him. But if you feel so strongly about it, why don’t you put the meth pipe down, turn off Duck Dynasty and run for office yourself. I’m sure you could beat Bernie with all your wonderful ideas that the voters are just dying to hear.
Love Bernie. I've voted for him every chance I've ever gotten. He truly is the most wholesome, genuine people on the planet. Hes unapologetically normal.
He has a literally never held a private-sector job and has always taken taxpayer money. He's now a millionaire, which by the way he has been against millionaires up until he became one. Such a "normal" dude.
too bad he is bought off. He was there to suck your money into the DNC funds, then take a dive. He didn't fight for you, he tricked you and got nothing done.
Me too! I vote for him because he is the person I want elected. If everybody did that he would be president today.
@@meltingface2558 he literally has tho lol. And sure, he barely made a million ONE year because of a bestseller he wrote. And he's never been against millionaires, just them paying their fair share in tax instead of taking advantage of loopholes and tax breaks given by the politicians they buy off.
@@zakobruce no u
Feels so good to be able to laugh again. So much love for Bernie and bless every teacher ♥️🙏🇺🇸
🌹♥️ same here
I’m sure those 50,000+ people that lost their jobs due to Biden killing the Keystone pipeline think it feels good to laugh again as well? Yeah?
@@464batman How about they get jobs not killing the environment. Of course it’s vital that they have work, but your reasoning is like - why stop the war, you’ll be putting all those bomb-builders out of a job. Let’s demand that these workers can get busy building infrastructure and renewable energy sources.
Wont be laughing when America is destroyed like the 100,000 jobs lost yesterday alone
@@464batman fuck them and their jobs, they can get one where they don't completely destroy the environment.
He was the only person who didn't fit into the Hunger Game theme
👏👏👏👏👏exactly
So true!
🤣I was thinking the same thing 🤣 I was looking for Peeta and Katniss. I thought I saw Effie but it turned out to be Lady Gaga 🤣
Exactly
Oh Snap!
We were all warmed by the mittens. Thank you.
I love Bernie he really is a loving person. He really care about people human being.
I love them, Bernie is such a down to earth guy, I definitely would've voted for him
What i'm against is Congress acting as an inherently corrupt swamp of career politician shills with no separation of powers and the ability to govern their own term-limits, lobbyism regulations, salaries, etc.
I'm against the unconstitutional entity "the Fed" straying from the gold standard.
I'm against most Americans seeming to have complete faith and trust in corporate media even after Operation Mockingbird was declassified
I don't foresee Bernie acknowledging my concerns any time soon.
He gave up 2 times, I don't think he wanted it that bad
Bernie is dumber than stupid
@@JohnDoeRS7 he gave up the second time because of the corona virus, don't undersell the guy.
@@Drbeckerproductions what about the virus? Trump had the virus. Aside from that Sanders immediately started to let go of his core values just to help Biden win. He gave up man
So nice that we can watch current events and point out the “fun” stuff again. Refreshing
There was always fun stuff going on... I don’t know why it wasn’t being reported on more regularly?
I know! The bias is disgusting.
This comment shows how brainwashed you have been by the media. To honestly think nothing else has been going on and now all of a sudden you think things are better? Wake up
Dane DeVries exactly...
Yes @John Nelson!! Feels like we can breathe easier now! 😁
BERNIE
The working class politician
A genuine, original, authentic good man who gives a hoot to look like everyone else, LOVE BERNIE!!!
A shame many hate him and call him a commie not knowing what he means and what he could have meant for america.
@@goniazigoniazi6393 what, you mean america having what every other industrialized country has? ha ha.
Made me smile and lightened my heart to see a “Bernie Saunders and his mittens” doll blessing our patients and staff in our ICU Covid unit in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada ❤️🇨🇦
🥰🥰🥰love this teacher and her mittens.
Nice mittens 👍👏
Eco friendly mittens! That is what I’m talking about
Mr. Sander is someone you will love to give something as simple as mittens and you know he will treasure it. Such a humble man 🤗
Bernie, you are so real! Hand-made authentic guy!
Bernie is so down to earth. He shows up at an outdoor event in the winter, actually dressed for cold weather! Gotta love that man!
I don't know why social media made a joke on his style. He is not an artist who has to dress well whenever out to the public. Kudos to the mitten's maker.
I don't think there was hate in those memes. People just couldn't resist a good opportunity for a joke. I think Bernie is the most beloved politician on the internet.
I don't think it was meant to be a mean joke. He was just so normal and keeping warm and it was very charming, especially knowing the story behind the mittens. The contrast with everyone else at the inauguration was funny!
😊God bless UNCLE Bernie🤗
Beautiful....this is THE America Ive been missing for the last 4 years....
Welcome back, lets see more
Thank you Jen for those great looking Mittens
Love this dude. He’s got a good heart.
Beautiful story ❤
There is nothing ordinary about you. You are teaching every child how small acts of kindness can change the world Ms Mitten Maker!
Bernie’s my MAN!!!!! He’s so real!!!!
Bernie is just so lovable
Bernie was the most interesting thing about the inauguration smh
Cause he wanted people to focus on him instead of the calamity Biden will cause this country
Jen- create an etsy page... you'll be a millionaire!
Definitely!!!!
You missed the point.
@robert hinton how...she will be making the mittens herself
Stop👏monetizing 👏people’s 👏hobbies👏
It doesn’t have to be a side hustle.
There’s nothing materialistic or even ‘capitalist’ with wanting to make some more money. What’s wrong with people?
We LOVE Bernie he is the best! :) its simple his handmade mittens kept him warm !
A beautiful story!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😷
Cool to take a moment to break away from the SERIOUS stuff. LOL. 😊
Bernie Sanders is a newly minted member of the wutang clan as well... lol
Suuuuuuuu!
Not even close
@@FirstFreedom the memes says otherwise 🤪
The what- am I being dumb? Am I supposed to know what that is!
@@delighteddino9363 iam 61 an i know...
There's noone better and wholesome than ❤️ Bernie ❤️ and we love him for it. He never stops fighting for the people and represent the people! 😍
She's so genuine and lovely.❤
I love this on so many levels.
Me too - best story in a long time.
I love it. That was a lovely story
It’s so cool to see fiber artists getting some shine. I’m a crocheter myself! 🧶
Sanders isn’t a meme his a fashion icon
Bernie Sanders. The greatest president America never had.
I know. I voted for him in both primaries.
What a lovely day, AMERICA is all smiling and it feels good.💃💃💃
That's because everyone loves Bernie. ❤ He's so sweet. ❤
I am most impressed that they are 5 years old!! I would have lost 'em by now!
Most normal politician in the swamp of congress.
Bernies is ...US, that's just ONE of the reasons we love him SO much!
Maybe you love him, but that only makes you look very silly. Due to the high taxes Bernie imposed, this woman can no longer afford to ship off these mittens. Ohhh the irony!~
@@riverduck3 you are no one and your opinion is complete crap.... so?
My friends open up for Bernie Sanders when he was running for president because one of the lead singers is from Vermont to. And they got a kick out of Bernie wearing warm clothes to the inauguration because it's F'n Cold. Smart man.
🥶🥶🥶
Bernie's shoes and jacket were Burton Clothing Company, very expensive stuff but google their company and you'll understand why Bernie wears it ..
That jacket is about 500 dollars..
@@dr.peppermintpatty4925 700
@@dr.peppermintpatty4925 No wonder he's worn it for so long.
@@dr.peppermintpatty4925 the socialist also drives a really expensive car and went on tour with it.
@@t.m9341 so.... he works hard... he can drive whatever he likes... what should that matter to you? You cry socialism like a snowflake and will accept the benefits from those that need them the most... when did folks like you her so high and mighty to feel like it’s not a good idea to help those that need the assist ? Keep on living... what has Trump done for you? He hasn’t done anything to make life better for common folk
America get what it deserves in our elected officials. That's why we will never get someone as thoughtful and intelligent as Bernie Sanders as our president!
The people we choose to elect are like a mirror on the society, if we don't like the reflection it's is because it is who we are.
If society is corrupt and greedy, the elected people will also be corrupt and greedy. The mirror never lies.
A national treasure 🙏🏻
I love those mittens and Senator Bernie Sanders; and now that wonderful school teacher. What an amazing talent she has.
These mittens got more news coverage than hunters laptop...
Obviously people LOVE Bernie and this meme is the sort of thing you do to someone beloved.
Cute
Gotta love Bernie !! Warm hands Warm heart !
Bernie true and authentic ❤️☮️
Jen was on my local NPR station this morning, VPR, and the hosts of every segment all morning was bringing her up. Such a sweet woman!
I love Bernie!!!! He is such a great man!
This is awesome! I love Bernie❤️❤️❤️
Those are some darn cute mittens!!
Oh no why isn’t she selling them x. Glad she received that moment x
What beautiful idea!!!💕💕💕💕 They look so warm and cozy!
Good. Mittens area great way to stay warm when your stuck outside in January & they were made especially for him by a supporter.
I have a feeling she will be a millionaire
Unfortunately she doesn't sale them 😑
@@Swnsasy awwh😟l would have loved one
@@Lighthouse734 I know, me too and I'm in Florida 😜
You can buy one of Bernies books about the pitfalls of capitalism for just $19.99 on Amazon.
Don't let Bernie know she's going to be a millionaire....
It’s an ecofriendly statement. Bernie it always keeping it real. I love Bernie!
Cuteness overload 😍
So cute Bernie! He is using mittens handmade by a small business owner and teacher by using recycle sweaters!!!! Way to go Bernie!!! Big Heart!
Jen Ellis, I love your mittens. All the best to you.
It goes to show you don't need a fancy name brand on your hands or body! We love Bernie!!!!!
Love them!!!!
World is so happy to see a relaxed version of a human..& all this while we thought brands gave us confidence..
Congratulations, Jen!💗💗💗
But she can make so much money, even though money is not always the reason for the season, but man! 12,000 people called her, at let say, 15 dollars a pop! Omg! Blessings 🙏🏾🙌🏾🌏❤️
It was the arm cross for me. Go Bernie!
I love this ❤️
Bernie's mittens look like they were made from the same pattern and the same yarn as the Icelandic Jersey knitted for me by my lovely wife in 1978, for the Adirondack winters, and which I still have. I approve.
God bless u Jen in your work n u to
I 💙Bernie😁look at him 🤣his so comfortable and simple .
Some people are just posers..
Some people are just amazing & just helping- good hearted... thank you Senator Bernie
Love this story.....love the bit about foraging for Maple Syrup....I am from Nova Scotia Canada....sending our American Cousins Peace, Health and Happiness!
Love you bernie!!
Such a good man
God bless this woman
Love it 🥰
this is funny with everything that happened on the first day in office GMA finds just enough time to talk about Bernie's mittens thanks for the great reporting keep up the good work
Sanders mittens and his sitting style was amazing!
I’m here, it’s cold, ok, great...now headed home.
Getting that comfy outfit vs that shapewear experience when you return home and disrobe.
I’ll take a roll down vs. a can of biscuits body explosion any day.
Go head Sanders! Thank you for giving the mitten designer a great mention.
Universal healthcare would've been nice in a pandemic.
He's been pushing for emergency Medicare 4 All as part of the budget he is in charge of writing now. Hopefully Biden will be pushed to go along.
Sen.Bernie Sanders Mittens more famous than Kitten Mittens Senator Sanders always steals the show
I love mittens
Love Bernie!
Way to go Jen!
Love Bernie.
