Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) deflected criticism about how he dresses on Capitol Hill after the Senate suspended its traditional dress code requiring members to wear a jacket and tie.
In an interview with MSNBC host Chris Hayes on Monday, Fetterman discussed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s retiring of the Senate dress code, a move Republicans say was intended to appease the Pennsylvania senator known for his casual attire of shorts and a hoodie.With all eyes on Fetterman following the change, the first-term senator said there are “more important things we should be talking about” than “if I dress like a slob” and shifted attention to one vocal critic: Rep.
He made a similar remark when Greene voiced her concerns over the relaxing of the Senate dress code on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Thankfully, the nation’s lower chamber lives by a higher code of conduct: displaying ding-a-ling pics in public hearings,” Fetterman said in response.
