It turns out that Chuck Schumer’s second in command isn’t happy with his loosening of the dress code to accommodate the slob from Pennsylvania.
The Hill is reporting that Dick Durbin believes the Senate needs to have ‘standards’:
🚨 Durbin, No. 2 Senate Dem leader, breaks w/ Schumer on loosening Senate dress code:
“The senator in question from Pennsylvania is a personal friend but I think we need to have standards when it comes to what we’re wearing on the floor of the Senate.”https://t.co/JDWZYXnKF3

Speaking of slobs, here is Fetterman walking to a meeting with Zelensky this morning:

I should note that he’s covering his pocket with his right hand. The reason he’s doing this is to hide a program on his phone that’s doing automatic transcription:
This @WSJ photo appears to show @JohnFetterman walking around the U.S. Senate with an automatic transcription program running on his phone ("Hey, how are you?") Only revealed b/c he accidentally placed his phone into his shirt pocket backward.https://t.co/pFHFyiI1BZ pic.twitter.com/LSBEElGqkc
