Twitter loves 'sanitizer in chief' - the mystery podium cleaner at Biden's inauguration
Joe Biden took oath as the 46th President of the United States on January 20. Kamala Harris was also sworn in as the 49th Vice President of the United States, the first woman to do so.
While the inauguration day was made memorable by Lady Gaga's soul-stirring rendition of the US national anthem, Amanda Gorman's poem, and Jennifer Lopez's performance, there were a few more sights and sounds that have caught the internet's fancy.
The best one is, of course, a picture of Senator Bernie Sanders sitting at the bleachers while being dressed in casual clothes. He paired his regular outfit with masks and a pair of woolen mittens.
Casual Bernie is everywhere now in the form of memes. The massively viral meme has been shared by celebrities, politicians, and sportspersons among others. Due to its immense popularity, even brands are using it to promote their offers and products.
But Sanders isn't the only person who has attained viral fame after the inauguration. Twitter is also obsessing about a mystery podium cleaner who was seen wiping surfaces at Wednesday's packed inauguration.
The mystery man who was seen wiping down the podium between speakers has now been dubbed 'santiser in Chief'.
Netizens are going bananas over the masked man who masked and scarf-wearing germ cleaner for his worldness work of protecting the VIPs. After photos of the man were shared on Twitter, netizens started calling him 'Sanitiser-in-Chief' and 'Podium Sanitiser Guy'.
While some users called him 'Capt. Lyson', many wondered if he was former United States Attorney General Bill Barr.
A user wrote: "Lots of unsung heroes today...if anyone knows this guy...tell him I said thanks. He ran up to the podium between every speaker and Clorox wiped the mess out of it. “Not anymore #COVID19. New team in town!”
“This guy deserves a medal #SanitizerinChief and #PodiumSanitizerGuy #captlysol put him in charge of the vaccine rollout he was on point keeping it clean,” wrote another.
