‘I plan to wear a bikini’: Senate Republicans mock changes to dress code
The new dress code, implemented by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, will allow Sen. John Fetterman to wear his trademark casual attire like hoodies and shorts on the Senate floor.
The candid reviews of the new rules, which went into effect Monday, even included mockery from Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who joked to reporters that she planned to “wear a bikini” on Tuesday.
You're viewing a single thread.
“I think there is a certain dignity that we should be maintaining in the Senate, and to do away with the dress code, to me, debases the institution,” Collins added.
Now can a man not have even his hoodie fellas?
I'd bet a lot of money some conservative said something similar about "certain dignity" when the first woman senator was elected.
As a Republican she knows a thing or two about debasing institutions.
And jack shit about dignity.
I think Senators should yell at each other like they do in the UK and (I assume) Australia. Representatives can take it even further and have straight-up food fights.
Fake appeals to decorum and "dignity" went out the fucking window in 2016. Let's just be honest about where everyone stands and what they want. The genie ain't going back into the bottle!
(I assume) Australia
You assume correctly. Senate Estimates is usually a bit more dignified than Question Time in the House of Representatives though. QT is just a straight up circus with the way the opposition behaves.
