John Fetterman Perfectly Shames MTG After She Demands 'Etiquette And Respect' In The Senate

After the Senate loosened dress code rules to accommodate Senator John Fetterman, Marjorie Taylor Greene seemed offended by the loss of 'eticquette and respect.'

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is well-known for her tendency to lash out against her fellow lawmakers both in-person and online — it even got her booted from the far-right Freedom Caucus earlier this year.

Her latest grudge seems to be against Pennsylvania U.S. Senator John Fetterman. It's not his politics that she's upset about this time, though: it's his wardrobe choices.


Greene tweeted her ire over Fetterman's fashion decisions and accused him and the Senate of "lowering the bar" for relaxing dress code protocol on the Senate floor.

Fetterman's scathing response referenced Greene's now infamous decision to display explicit photos of Hunter Biden on the House floor in July while questioning 2 IRS special agents about the federal investigation into Hunter Biden.

Fetterman was far from the only one responding to Greene's newest tirade by citing her own behavior to highlight her hypocrisy.



According to reporting by Axios, the "dress code" that was relaxed and so upset Greene may not even be a formal written policy but an informal code enforced by the Senate's Sergeant at Arms.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer quietly directed the Sergeant at Arms not to enforce that informal dress code for members of the Senate — members of staff will still be required to wear business attire — last week.

Schumer told Axios:

"Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit."

Senators have been able to circumvent the dress code guidelines by staying at the edges of the Senate chambers, keeping one foot in the cloakroom so as not to truly be on the Senate floor, and holding up a thumbs up or thumbs down to vote before retreating to the cloakroom.

Fetterman, and others, have previously voted this way. Now they will be able to remain on the Senate floor between votes instead of simply poking their heads in at voting time.

Fetterman, who suffered a stroke during his 2022 campaign, initially followed the informal dress code, wearing a suit and tie when he appeared in the Senate, but has since chosen more comfortable attire after returning from seeking treatment for clinical depression earlier this year.

Clinical depression is one of the most common mental health disorders faced by adults in the United States. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or other mental health concerns, help is available. You can get more information by visiting SAMHSA's website here: https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helpline or by calling 1-800-662-HELP (4357) to get connected with local mental health resources.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
