The U.S. Senate passed the 'SHow Our Respect To the Senate' (SHORTS) act, restoring the dress code and forcing Sen. Fetterman to wear pants.
The U.S. Senate achieved a rare bipartisan milestone Wednesday when it passed the “SHow Our Respect To the Senate” act, restoring the dress code and forcing Sen. John Fetterman to wear pants on the floor.
As Breitbart News reported earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer allowed the dress code toThe policy came under withering criticism from left and right.[Schumer’s] decision is apparently connected to the desires of Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, who enjoys parading around in gym shorts and a hoodie. Why would his desires receive such precedence?
Because he has political needs. He must double down on his brand. He imagines that dressing like a slob deepens his perceived identification with the working class. But this kind of thing doesn’t make you “authentic”; it just makes you a different kind of phony. Mr. Fetterman, born into affluence and privilege, reacted to criticism of Mr. Schumer’s decision with an air of snotty entitlement.
Sen. Joe Manchin objected, however, and joined Sen. Mitt Romney in proposing a resolution to put pants on the Pennsylvania Senator. Got ahold of Manchin’s dress code resolution. It’s called “SHow Our Respect To the Senate Resolution’’ or the ‘‘SHORTS Resolution.”
