Lesbian Mom Who Made Bernie Sanders’ Viral Mittens Overwhelmed with Requests

Andy Towle January 23, 2021 Leave a Comment

Jen Ellis, an Essex Junction, Vermont second grade teacher and craft hobbyist, is the woman behind Bernie Sanders' now mega-viral Biden inauguration mittens and she has been flooded with more than 12,000 requests she can't fulfill.

Ellis, who lives with her partner, Liz, and their kindergarten-age daughter, told Jewish Insider that “she gave the mittens to Sanders as a gift five years ago, but has never met him, even though she is an admirer.”

I made Bernie's mittens as a gift a couple years ago. They are made from repurposed wool sweaters and lined with fleece (made from recycled plastic bottles). #BerniesMittens pic.twitter.com/lTXFJvVy9V

To the creators of memes everywhere- you are so so funny! Way to go! We all need a moment of joy in these dark pandemic days. People all over the world are participating in something fun and light hearted- how great is that?!

Thanks for all the interest in Bernie's mittens! It truly has been an amazing and historic day! I'm so flattered that Bernie wore them to the inauguration. Sadly, I have no more mittens for sale. There are a lot of great crafters on ETSY who make them. -Jen Ellis,
