From The Hill, “Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is facing backlash from Democratic and Republican colleagues on his decision to loosen the Senate’s dress code to accommodate Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) — and senators may wind up debating the issue on the Senate floor. Schumer provoked an uproar in Washington this week by announcing senators could wear whatever they want on the Senate floor.” So, Schumer — the worst Democratic leader of the Senate in history — further proves he’s a f***ing G.D. moron and has no issue providing fodder to RepubliKKKlans that Democrats really do focus on the trivial, which, of course, is still better than being a party of insurrectionists and fascists (aka RepubliKKKlans). But he doesn’t help himself or the Democrats when he goes rogue with the dress code.
Now, I like Fetterman as much as the next guy, but he “applied” and got the job at the Senate, which had a particular dress code before he won, so he knew the expectations. And I’m sorry, but Schumer should not be changing the dress code to accommodate one person who always wants to wear shorts and a hoodie. This is a no-brainer. Call me an old grumpy man. And don’t start with this Everyman B.S. excuse. The notion that Average Working Man Joe might like and appreciate Fetterman showing up to work at the Senate looking like a slob is a non-starter. Let me ask you this: If the Average Working Man Joe’s lawyer showed up to court representing him in a divorce, custody, criminal, or traffic matter in shorts, a hoodie, and gym shoes, would Average Joe be copacetic with that? I doubt it.
