Sanders: Just wanted to keep me warm
Bernie Sanders himself said in an interview that he did not know that his outfit would make him an Internet star. “I just sat there and tried to keep warm and to pay attention to what was happening,” said the 79-year-old on the late-night show hosted by Seth Meyers on NBC.
It’s not the first time that Sanders has caused a stir with his outfit. The knitted gloves achieved fame about a year ago at an appearance by the politician, who at that time was still running as a candidate in the Democratic primary against the eventual winner Joe Biden.
