Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) called the criticism over the Senate’s updated dress code “mystifying” on Tuesday, the day after he was allowed to wear his signature hoodies and shorts in the chamber.
The change in policy went into effect on Monday after a notice went out to the Senate sergeant-at-arms on Friday that directed her not to enforce the chamber’s dress code for its members. Fetterman has been seen wearing casual clothing after he returned to the Senate following his hospitalization for clinical depression earlier this year, and now the senator can do so when he votes.Fetterman, who wore a shirt and shorts, declined to walk to the Senate floor to vote on Tuesday afternoon.
“It's mystifying. I mean, there's certainly much more important kinds of issues we should be addressing. Instead of, like, how if I dress like a bum,” the Pennsylvania Democrat said.
