Rather than enforcing the dress code, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer opted to changed the dress rules to accommodate Senator John Fetterman, who frequently wears basketball shorts and hoodies.
“Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit,” Schumer told news outlets.

“Senators can now [wear] what ever (sic) they want. However, others entering the chamber must comply with the dress code. Coats/ties for men. Business attire for women,” Fox News journalist Chad Pergram tweeted.

Daily Wire reports:
The Associated Press (AP) reported in May that the freshman senator, who has a penchant for hoodies and shorts, worked around the rules for the Senate floor by popping in to vote from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or side entrance.
“He’s setting a new dress code,” Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) joked at the time.
The senator from Pennsylvania is so incapacitated that his colleagues changed Senate rules rather than even attempt to have him dress like an adult. https://t.co/vVJwNg1DOw

The AP report further explained that Fetterman’s preference for cozy attire was seen as a good sign for the senator as he struggled with depression and anxietyfollowing a near-fatal stroke last year.
“People close to Fetterman say his relaxed, comfortable style is a sign that the senator is making a robust recovery after six weeks of inpatient treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where his clinical depression was treated with medication and he was fitted for hearing aids for hearing loss that had made it harder for him to communicate,” the report said.

Double standard much?? Why does Fetterman get his own special accommodations?
Schumer proves once again he is an absolutely horrible Majority Leader. What a disgrace and disrespect to the institution. Get dressed for work people, it’s not that hard. https://t.co/grrVGogDTF

JUST more catering to a mentally disturbed Democrat. There used to be places that were dedicated to treating and curing these mentally disturbed people. Now they are just absorbed by the Democratic ( communist ) party.
“Absorbed” makes it seem like mentally disturbed communists are not the primary requirement of the current devolving Democratic party.
I CAN SEE IT NOW. With X amount of weird members in the Democrat Party the fashion march will begin. An assortment of clown suits in various colors? Sandals, no jackets or ties? Members choice? I didn’t think the Democrat Party could detiorate more than it has. I was wrong.
this just show the dictates mind set. you peons will do what we tell because you are not privilege enough.
Typical democrat move, just the same as they are treating the illegal aliens. Everyone else has to put up with a chosen few that are entitled to special treatment. Our country is getting pissed away by a political party that cares only for its power and nothing for the country.
one wonders, if Trump dressed like that. would he change the dress code for trump.
Chuckin’ Fuckles!!!
We senators will wear what we want but you around us will comply. I would love to see republican senators dress ridiculously for a few weeks. See what changes. !!
Mentally disturbed people, at one time, were put in institutions for mental health problems.
Today, they are placed in the White House or placed in DC as the legislative body!!
The way Congress will dress will make every day Halloween!
Interesting how the words have been changed from Congress to CIRCUS !!!!
Anyone really surprised??
No no no no get this criminal and he is he has done more wrong than anything Trump might have done, he has called for violence, threatening the Supreme Court, ,Trump, not to mention stealing taxpayer money, selling America if you don’t have respect to dress and act appropriately than you are Fired Fired Fired all benefits revoked security clearance revoked and this nut should not have a security clearance at all never the people of what ever state this nut is from should have recalled Fired him long ago he is a disgrace
Where have you been? He campaigned and won election dressed this way.. you can
blame the idiots in Pennsylvania for voting him in.
let the little? have his way. He’s is making a mockery of our government. Just shaking my head in disbelief.
Next full session of the Senate, all Conservatives should come dressed to go to the beach. Flip flops and straw hats. Let’s make a true MOCKERY of our senate
It is Very Sad that our Senate doesn’t have the guts to make a senator dress accordingly for his highly distinguished position. What a scum bag order from Schumer to have all senators’ drop standards for one ass hole that shouldn’t be there in the first place. When is he going to really go to work and stop using our supplied highly supportive health system, we pay for to fix his existing problems in the first place …. Downright disgraceful.
This illustrates and proves the caliber of our leaders today. They have no respect for our country or traditions. They are nothing but a bunch of low-class hacks.
If that slob can’t dress right for the job he should quit and get a job he can handle
if Fetterman is so incapacitated that he can’t dress appropriately for his job (which by the way is not a joke), then he’s too incapacitated to even work there. He looks like he should be moving around pallets on a loading dock somewhere. (No offense to shipping/distribution workers everywhere. I too worked in the industry many years.)
What will our foreign dignitaries think as they cross paths with the guy? How tacky!!!
If it had been a Republican doing this the DemonRATS woukld have a freakin’ hissy fit.
very unprofessional, total Disgrace, just for a Mental jerk.
Just another step into the trash heap called Washington. I guess the Democrats will be having beer and pot breaks next. Its a disgrace how far this country has fallen under Democrat rule. Liars testifying under oath, corrupt CIA and FBI, illegal raids on private homes. If Trump does not win this next election, there will be no America left.
With all the destruction the Democrat’s are doing to our country, this had to be “one of the next” despicable, disrespectful acts that they are famous for, to show their sheer hate for us, their hate for our country, their hate for our Constitution, and for their hate for our rule of law…. or lack thereof. It wouldn’t surprise me if they appointed Putin, and Zelenskyy into the House and Senate, and replaced Joe with Xi into the Oval Office. We have insane mad men ruling over our country, weaponizing those high offices to take down all their opponents.
