Senate Passes ‘SHORTS’ Resolution; John Fetterman Must Wear Pants

The U.S. Senate achieved a rare bipartisan milestone Wednesday when it passed the “SHow Our Respect To the Senate” (SHORTS) act, restoring the dress code and forcing Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) to wear pants on the floor.

As Breitbart News reported earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) allowed the dress code to lapse in deference to Fetterman, who has adopted hoodies and shorts as part of a “working-class” persona.

The policy came under withering criticism from left and right. Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan wrote:

[Schumer’s] decision is apparently connected to the desires of Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who enjoys parading around in gym shorts and a hoodie. Why would his desires receive such precedence?

Because he has political needs. He must double down on his brand. He imagines that dressing like a slob deepens his perceived identification with the working class. But this kind of thing doesn’t make you “authentic”; it just makes you a different kind of phony. Mr. Fetterman, born into affluence and privilege, reacted to criticism of Mr. Schumer’s decision with an air of snotty entitlement. He mocked critics, making woo-woo monster sounds to reporters and telling a House critic to “get your s— together.” He said Republicans were “losing their minds” and ought to have better things to do.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) objected, however, and joined Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) in proposing a resolution to put pants on the Pennsylvania Senator.

How far removed from the world of the working class does a rich person have to be in order to believe that this is how a normal working class person would dress in the US Senate? For that matter, he'd get sent home to change into pants if he showed up to work in a factory or construction site dressed like that. You have to be making high 6 figure salaries in a Silicon Valley job to be able to dress like that for work.

I'm actually surprised he and Mitch don't show up in just hospital gowns and diapers.

When I saw the title of this thread I was expecting Fetterman to show up to work wearing boxers.
