Sen. John Fetterman, 54, had taken to X to respond to David Brooks’ viral post about a $78 lunch that he had at Newark Airport by highlighting the cost of his sweatshirt in an attempt to mock…
“This hoodie cost me $78. This is why Fox News thinks the economy is terrible,” Fetterman wrote Friday, along with a picture of him at a lectern wearing his favorite shabby apparel
Logan Dobson, a consultant and former GOP Senate aide, countered that while the sweatshirt only costs $50, according to its Amazon history, its price has gone up 20% since President Biden took office in January 2021. “I took 10 seconds to check prices on carhartt [sic] hoodies and it turns out yup they’re up 20% in price since Biden was inaugurated and that kind of inflation is noticed by Americans,” Dobson wrote on X.
Brooks had been dragged by the owner of EWR’s 1911 Smoke House BBQ outpost, who noted that the writer’s burger and fries cost only $17, meaning most of his bill was compromised of two double whiskeys, which cost almost $30 each. Sen. John Fetterman’s joke on Twitter about the cost of sweatshirts backfired after a fact-check confirmed inflation has raised the price of hoodies.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer relaxed the Senate’s formal dress code so that Fetterman can vote in a sweatshirt and shorts.
