I have spoken in the past about the value of decorum in public life and service, which prompts me to offer a brief comment on the criticism being leveled at a freshman U.S. senator from Pennsylvania.
Democrat John Fetterman stood before a microphone the other day in the presence of his colleagues … while wearing a hoodie and shorts. The other guys were dressed in their customary dark suits, slacks and ties.
Conservatives, quite naturally, jumped all over Fetterman over his, um, attire. They make a good point.
Fetterman has recovered from a stroke. He said he’s been treated for depression. He also says he’s cured and is feeling “great.”
Therefore, I do not understand why a grown man, a sitting U.S. senator, cannot dress himself appropriately while representing his constituents and speaking to the rest of the nation about important public policy matters.
What in the world gives with this guy?
