Every Republican senator should start wearing hoodies

Published September 22, 2023 6:12am ET



Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) presided over the Senate last week in clothes that more resemble what one wears when cleaning a septic tank rather than one of the most prestigious jobs in the country. It was degrading, embarrassing, and the nation’s latest left-wing cultural downgrade courtesy of the “fashion enlightenment” and new rules imposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The decision is beneath the dignity of the office of the Senate, and Republicans should not take it sitting down.

Instead, they should be standing up, and when they do, every single Republican in the Senate should be wearing shorts and a hoodie. Schumer and the Democrats won’t listen to reason or common sense, so show them exactly how ridiculous and embarrassing this decision really is. If Schumer wants shorts and hoodies in the Senate, then give the Democrats shorts and hoodies in the Senate. It’s an idea that I was thinking about, but something political commentator Mary Walter actually put into words, posting on X earlier this week.
