Bernie Sanders/Twitter
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders splashed into the internet Thursday and Friday sending ripples to almost every corner of the MEMernet.
President Joe Biden took the stage Wednesday but it was Sanders who stole the inaugural show. Sanders, sitting in his trademark coat, has been pasted into photos around the globe.
Here’s what Sanders said in a Friday tweet:
Not long ago, people said a $15 minimum wage was unthinkable. But a grassroots movement refused to take no for an answer.
Today, the President's order begins raising the minimum wage to $15/hour for federal contractors.
Now, Congress must pass a $15 living wage for ALL workers. https://t.co/IehgxV8Mvs
