The big tough pull-a-gun-on-a-black-jogger Senator from Pennsylvania is not as tough as you might think. He's apparently threatened by suits and ties. He's so delicate that Chuck Schumer had to change the rules of Senate decorum to accommodate the special needs guy.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) quietly has directed the Senate's Sergeant at Arms to no longer enforce the chamber's informal dress code for its members, Axios has learned.Here he is in a suitWhy it matters: The new directive will allow Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who tends to favor gym shorts and hoodies over the business attire traditionally required in the chamber, to linger on the Senate floor before and after votes.
"Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit," Schumer said in a statement to Axios.
This looks more like a hostage picture than anything else.
The Senate is the world's greatest deliberative body. It is worthy of respect as an institution, while at the same time its members may not all be so worthy. It's not unlike the military, in which the rank is saluted, not the person holding the rank. There used to be rules
Zoom in: The updated rule will go into effect this week, according to a Senate official. The change applies only to senators — staff members will still be required to follow the old dress code.But Fetterman is too sensitive and fragile for such ominous sartorial intimidation as is even business casual, let alone a genuine suit and tie.
- Under that standard, men and women have been required to wear business attire on the Senate floor — which has meant coat and tie for men.
- But senators fresh off a plane or from the gym could circumvent the dress code by voting from the edge of the Senate floor, with one foot still in the cloakroom.
- They could hold their thumb up or down to indicate their vote and then step back out of the chamber. Technically, they weren't considered to be in violation of the floor's dress code. Fetterman and other senators have voted this way.
Fetterman's ever present handler is the giveaway that he is walking the tightrope of sanity and could fall off at any moment. This tweet speaks to his mental status.

His cute gym outfit makes him look like Lou Alcinder.
Most of the Dem party is brain damaged or compromised. All of the adults with good mental capacity should dress very very well. I’d say let them do slob moron dress. It shows who they are and who the adults in the room are.
Don’t waste the opportunity to show off their incompetence.
“The Senate is the world’s greatest deliberative body.”
That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.
I don’t understand why he wears shorts. His torso to leg ratio is way off.
As a Pennsylvania resident, all I can say is this toolbag is a COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT!
Along with anyone else who voted for him!!!!!!
There must be lead in the water in PA, everywhere but south central PA !!!!!!!!!!
I vote he looks like Uncle Fester.
Hell, I dress better than that when I go to Walmart
If he has a problem with a tie (probably can’t tie it) he could at least wear a golf shirt
Th is just more proof that he is a controlled vote. He does as he is told. His election was stolen for him.
He already fell off that sanity cliff.
Great. Taxpayers won’t have to pay for a dozen $5,000 suits and $40 socks and ties like the rest of Congress.
The Senate is literally like idiocracy.
This will be appreciated when Minnesota elects a Somali pirate to the Senate.
Who voted for this or did Schumer make the call? So as taxpayers paying this slobs salary are we allowed to expect some dignity and respect from the senate? They not only represent us but the entire country. What a horrible image.
I would like to see someone show up in a barrel just to make a point.
