Senator John Fetterman, the cognitively damaged Democratic senator from Pennsylvania, has presented a unique proposition to Republicans who’ve taken issue with his unconventional attire: if they abandon efforts to trigger a government shutdown and fully support Ukraine, he will make a rare appearance in a suit on the Senate floor next week.
Fetterman has gained notoriety for his preference for shorts and hoodies over traditional suits, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer even changed Senate rules to allow this unprecedented breach of decorum. Previously, senators were mandated by the chamber’s rules to wear business attire while they were on the floor.
Schumer defended the decision, stating, “Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit.”
In a statement, Fetterman declared, “If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week.”
Sen. Rick Scott, along with 45 other senators, expressed their disapproval of the dress code modification in a letter addressed to Schumer. In the letter, they emphasized the importance of upholding the Senate’s dignity, stating, “The world watches us on that floor, and we must protect the sanctity of that place at all costs. Allowing casual clothing on the Senate floor disrespects the institution we serve and the American families we represent.”
Notably, some Democrats, including Senator Dick Durbin and Senator Mark Kelly, have also voiced their dissatisfaction with the change.
Throughout the controversy, Senator Fetterman has remained unfazed, asserting, “America… it’s about freedom and choice. It’s like [a] Burger King ‘You Rule’ kind of thing.”
Fetterman’s stance on attire has even prompted a direct conversation with Senator Joe Manchin, who also expressed his disagreement with the dress code alteration. Senator Manchin has recently initiated discussions to reintroduce a formal dress code for the Senate.

How on earth the state of Pennsylvania elected this guy over Dr. Oz is amazing!
Most Republicans prefer Ukraine to Russia (and China). Only a loud minority support Putin.
Congress is likely to end up funding the government (with gnashing of teeth, and maybe a paid vacation for frum civil servants on Hol ha-Moed, albeit with bad news for anyone planning a trip to the Smithsonian next week).
Most of his constituents probably wish he would stop making an ass of himself by running around in shorts. So maybe he is looking for a face saving way to dress like a Senator.
And since lack of mental facilities seems to be a requirement for higher office, calling him “brain damaged” might seem like an endorsement.
Why should anyone at care what this moron wears?
Let him wear nothing.
The senate is no longer a respectable place anyway
So if I understand correctly, he is not going to wear a suit
Yes, running America is like Burger King. Got it…
YWN, You’re disgusting, have you no seichel? I don’t like the guy either, but calling him “Brain Damaged Senator” is really insensitive and highly inappropriate loshon to use!
Shame on you.
Editor- regardless of your point which I agree with in this case , how do you use the term “Brain Damaged “ , he is also a Tzelen Elokim and if he is in fact mentally incapacitated it is not his doing and there is a respectful way to speak , your headline is befitting for the NYPost or some cheap Tabloid , not for a outlet that stands for Todah values
@Yaapchik, stupidity is the norm in America. It’s been that way for quite a while. People like you and me are now a rarity.
Well said Steven.Wright. But he probably wears these shmattes because he is unable, due to his impaired brain, to button a shirt or make a tie.
wow what animals.
this guy has successful tactics to get himself attention!!
