A viral image of American politician Bernie Sanders has shown up in numerous photographs from around the world.
Sanders sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020, but came second in both campaigns. Despite this, the Vermont senator garners support from a loyal following in the United States and has fans across the globe.
During President Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony, Sanders was photographed sitting cross-legged and wearing an especially cozy-looking pair of mittens and a puffy jacket. He also donned a blue face mask.
Over the past couple of days, people from across the Lower Mainland have shared the viral image in social media posts, which feature the popular politician in Metro Vancouver places or alongside locals.
Beloved Vancouver-born actor Ryan Reynolds also got in on the fun, sharing the Sanders Snap next to Deadpool in an Instagram post.

Sure, Elias Pettersson and Jake Virtanen are struggling right now, but at least they have Bernie Sanders by their side during press conferences. #Canucks pic.twitter.com/iGVmfvOZRn

Bernie is waiting for the market to reopen! We told him to go home and put it in his calendar to come back April 1st at 3pm. Just like Bernie, you should pop April 1st at 3pm in your calendar!#berniesanders #newwest #eatlocal #shoplocal pic.twitter.com/fgayGwTP7G
