Not only is Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) unapologetic for lowering the standard in the once-august upper U.S. government chamber, he has gone on the offensive in defending Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s decision to essentially remove a dress code.
As a result of that decision, the cognitively challenged Democrat can wear his signature hoodie and shorts on the Senate floor without violating the Senate dress code — former Trump aide Stephen Miller summed it up well when he said Fetterman has “turned the Senate into a coddling daycare for an emotionally stunted man-child with severely arrested development.”
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was among the many who voiced criticism of the decision to lower the bar, which prompted Fetterman to push back in a tweet calling her out for “displaying ding-a-ling pics in public hearings.”
Thankfully, the nation’s lower chamber lives by a higher code of conduct: displaying ding-a-ling pics in public hearings. https://t.co/a4sLQ7nSBL

The mention of “ding-a-ling pics” is a reference to the House Oversight Committee hearing where Greene displayed poster-size nude photos from Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop to support her claim that he had engaged in sex trafficking and listed payments to sex workers as a tax write-off.
As might be expected, MSNBC also gave Fetterman — who began disregarding the Senate dress code after his six-week hospitalization for clinical depression — a platform to ridicule those who took a stand for respect and decorum.
Of course, it’s far easier for Fetterman to tweet a coherent sentence — assuming that he posts his own tweets — than it is for him to voice that sentence:

As for lowering standards, here’s a sampling of the rhetoric voters can expect from Fetterman as he spoke about the need for Republicans to “go hump a different leg” while commenting on passing a stopgap funding measure:

There seemed to be an overriding theme in the responses to Fetterman’s tweet, as seen here from X:
Does anyone believe that the guy who can’t button his shirt is writing his own tweets? https://t.co/T4Yb1LO2tM

I love how your staff types stuff like this for you to try and make believe that you aren’t a complete buffoon.
