Fetterman Dresses for Failure Video

Just because you can wear sandals and a hoodie to important Senate hearings doesn't mean you should. This a complete lack of respect for Fetterman's constituents that put him in office (you know, the crooked election board).

Dressing Like a Loser Makes Fetterman a Loser
A video meme by politiphobia.com shows John Fetterman, a senator from Pennsylvania, openly disrespecting his constituents by wearing sandals and a hoodie on the Senate floor, further echoing the sentiment conveyed in this article. As you might know, the Senate has unanimously passed a resolution to reverse the “Fetterman Rule,” which had relaxed the formal dress code in the Senate. This change was met with backlash due to Senator Fetterman’s casual attire.
Under the newly passed resolution, senators will once again be required to wear business attire on the Senate floor. The move to reinstate the dress code was spearheaded by Senator Joe Manchin, who disagreed with Fetterman’s lax wardrobe. The resolution received bipartisan support, with Senator Mitt Romney also sponsoring it.
The article highlights the importance of senators displaying a high level of respect for the institution they serve, with their attire being a fundamental expression of that respect. Romney expressed his pride in standing with colleagues from both sides of the aisle to call for a return to a more suitable dress code.
Before the resolution’s passage, Fetterman assured his fellow Democrats that he would wear a suit while speaking or presiding over the Senate floor. Last week, he had taken advantage of the briefly relaxed dress code by presiding over Senate proceedings in his classic baggy shirt and shorts, and he is known for wearing a hoodie in the Capitol complex area.
The resolution now mandates that men on the Senate floor wear “a coat, tie, and slacks or other longer pants.” Many senators, including Republicans, expressed outrage over the lowered standards. Even Senator Susan Collins humorously joked about wearing a bikini in response to the change.
It’s important to note that the relaxed dress code only applied to senators, as visitors and staffers were still required to wear specified formal clothing. Senator Manchin had discussed his concerns with Fetterman before moving to reverse the dress code change.
Fetterman, who had largely abandoned adherence to the dress code, particularly following a hospital stay for clinical depression, was first elected to the Senate in 2022, marking the only Senate flip of that year. The resolution to restore the formal dress code reflects the Senate’s commitment to maintaining decorum and respect within the institution. Many say that Fetterman is mentally unable to do the people’s business and should resign ASAP.
