Friday on Twitter, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R – CO) blasted Democratic Senator John Fetterman‘s “unbecoming” decision to attend a Senate press conference while wearing a hoodie and shorts.
“John Fetterman redefined Casual on a Thursday morning,” Boebert tweeted. “It’s truly unbecoming for someone to show up like that to any job, let alone a job that only 100 people are elected to do.”
The Pennsylvania senator attended a Thursday news conference to discuss debt limit negotiations wearing a white hoodie, gray workout shorts, and running shoes, while standing alongside four fellow Democratic Senators who all were dressed in suit and tie.
“There’s just no excuse for it,” Boebert tweeted.
During his time as Mayor of Braddock and campaign for the Pennsylvania Senate, Fetterman was known for wearing sweats on the job, but raised eyebrows when he showed up to the United States Senate in a hoodie. He has been seen wearing a hoodie and shorts in the Senate several times since his return from a six-week hospital stay, where he was being treated for clinical depression.
