Chris Burns | Jan 20, 2021

A variety of fashion statements were on display at the Biden Harris 2021 Presidential Inauguration, but none were so perfectly meme-ready as Bernie Sanders.

Now the tech giant is teaming up with the two personalities that unwittingly gave birth to one of Google Search's most popular features: image search.
