Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Wednesday were officially sworn in as the President and Vice President, and one hilarious image stood out amid the pomp and circumstance of the historic inauguration ceremony.
A hilarious image of a bundled-up Bernie Sanders in attendance at the inaugural events caught fire on social media and became an instant meme, and one look shows it was for a delightfully good reason.

Following Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers star Andre Drummond could not help himself and joined in on the use of the biggest and easiest memable image from the ceremony.
The Cavaliers spoiled the debut of the Nets’ newly formed Big Three of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden by holding on in double overtime for a 147-135 victory at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Drummond, who had 13 points, seven rebounds and three assists in the victory, took to Twitter after the big win and riffed on the Sanders meme by Photoshopping the seated Vermont senator alongside Cavs head coach J.B. Bickerstaff in a huddle.
