Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin breaks with Schumer on Fetterman dress code change: ‘Need to have standards’

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the No. 2 Senate Democrat, blasted the recent dress code easing for Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) — and suggested the upper chamber “needs to act on this.”

“I’m concerned about it. The senator in question from Pennsylvania is a personal friend, but I think we need to have standards,” Durbin told “The Briefing with Steve Scully” on SiriusXM in an interview airing Friday.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) confirmed the policy change Sunday, while insisting, “I will continue to wear a suit.”

“I can’t understand exactly what he was thinking at that point,” a seemingly baffled Durbin replied when asked about Schumer’s rationale for the switch.

“I want to give him the benefit of the doubt until I speak to him but I think the Senate needs to act on this.”

Festerman can’t tie a necktie.

At this point I can’t tell if Fetterman or Biden has the worst mental decline, and honestly I am not angry at either of them, they are both puppets of globohomo at this point and they just need to retire and live out the rest of their lives in peace

Are they saying Fetterman is too feeble to put on a suit? But he’s fine when it comes to voting on policies that affect 335,000,000 Americans? Those same Americans have to follow the dress requirements put forth by their companies in order to keep their jobs…but Fetterman gets a pass?

There’s no reason Fetterman cannot learn to dress like a decent human being for the office he holds instead of having everyone go down to his level.

I wear stuff like he wears for gardening, splitting firewood, and burning brush because I don’t care what happens to it.

Biden needs to be humiliated and in jail. Globohomos didn’t make him steal millions by selling out the US’s interests.

Don’t know much about Fetterman but Biden has always been a lying, ruthless evil man who used whatever power had enrich himself and destroy anyone he disagrees with. What he deserves is misery.

“Festerman can’t tie a necktie.”

Festerman can’t have a competent thought.

That this brain dead idiot is in the Senate shows that our corruption in our elections is through the roof! ON STEROIDS!
