Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) got involved on social media Monday, with Greene ripping Fetterman-induced changes to the Senate dress code and Democrats knocking Greene for posting Biden’s “ding-a-ling” Hunter.
Greene, 49, who displayed a NSFW photo of her eldest son during a House Oversight Committee hearing in July, dressed down Fetterman, 54, after news broke that his now-familiar shorts-and-shirt outfit was appropriate for the Senate floor.
“The Senate no longer enforcing a dress code for senators to appease Fetterman is a shame,” Greene said on X, formerly Twitter. “The dress code is one of the community standards that set ethics and respect for our institutions. Stop lowering the bar!”
“Thankfully, the country’s lower house lives by a higher code of ethics: displaying ding-a-ling pictures in public hearings,” Fetterman applauded.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) confirmed Sunday he had ordered the chamber’s sergeant-at-arms to end the dress code enforcement for senators, which previously required men to wear coats and ties.
The change has already been dubbed the “Fetterman Rule” because of the Pennsylvanian’s penchant for wearing hoodies or baggy shirts and big, baggy shorts.
The new dress code means Fetterman can now vote on the Senate floor in full view of clerks and C-SPAN cameras — after previously shouting “Aye” or “No” from the doorway to the chamber.

“Senators can choose what they wear on the floor of the Senate. I will continue to wear suits,” Schumer explained in a statement, according to Axios.
The revised code does not apply to staff.
Fetterman’s response to Greene referred to his questioning of IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler during a House Oversight Committee hearing in which he put the first child on full display and suggested he violated federal anti-trafficking laws.

Greene began his questioning session with a content warning of “parental discretion advised” and then proceeded to show X-rated images of Hunter lifted from his famous laptop.
Fetterman defeated Dr. Mehmet Oz last year to flip a Pennsylvania Senate seat to Democratic control and give Democrats a 51-49 advantage in the upper chamber.
Earlier this year, he checked himself into hospital twice – once for headaches and then for clinical depression.
Fetterman has returned to the Senate, but still has auditory processing problems from a stroke he suffered in May 2022.
