A viral photo of Sen. Bernie Sanders has become the most magical meme of President Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony. 

The image shows Sanders all bundled up looking cold and reserved - a typical New York City mood, especially in the winter.

People edited the photo into classic NYC scenes, and the results are hilarious.

The meme went global as it moved beyond NYC hot spots and into other settings

But the memes quickly moved beyond NYC and into other iconic images, like "The Situation Room," a photo from 2010 during the raid of Osama Bin Laden's compound, as Insider previously reported.

Twitter sent Sanders as far as the moon.

Some users combined memes by adding Sanders to viral photos of the past, like this photo that was popular in 2017.

One user tweeted a picture with Sanders as the fly on Mike Pence's head during the vice-presidential debate.
