Bernie Sanders Goes Viral Again for Staying Seated During Trump's Inauguration Speech

Senator Bernie Sanders has once again gone viral for his stoic demeanor during a significant political event. This time, the Vermont independent remained seated amidst a standing ovation for President Donald Trump's inaugural speech.

The inauguration ceremony took place indoors at the US Capitol due to freezing temperatures in Washington, D.C. While those around him stood and applauded the new president, Sanders remained unmoved, drawing comparisons to a similar viral moment from former President Joe Biden's 2021 inauguration.

Social media users quickly took notice, with many praising Sanders for his unwavering principles. "Bernie is at it again," one user wrote, while another quipped, "Inside or outside, same pose."

In his inaugural speech, Trump spoke of being saved from an assassination attempt by God and promised a "Golden Age" for the United States. He also outlined his policy priorities, which he plans to implement through executive orders.

Sanders attended the inauguration alongside several lawmakers and notable allies of Trump, including billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. However, other prominent figures, such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, chose not to attend, citing concerns about Trump's past behavior.
