“The senator in question from Pennsylvania is a personal friend,” insisted Durbin, “but I think we need to have standards when it comes to what we’re wearing on the floor of the Senate, and we’re in the process of discussing that right now as to what those standards will be.”

While the 26-year Senate veteran pulled his punches with Fetterman, he had relatively harsh words for Schumer.

“I can’t understand exactly what he [Schumer] was thinking at that point. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt until I speak to him but I think the Senate needs to act on this.”

[If the Senate wants to be “more comfortable,” that’s a decision the body should reach together. And there is a large difference between “more comfortable” and the 14-year-old couture of John Fetterman. He’s a slob, and the Senate shouldn’t accommodate slobs that have no respect for the Senate or their role representing their state rather than themselves. — Ed]
