AP: Fetterman Wearing Hoodies & Shorts Means He’s in Recovery

Breaking News

File this under the type of stories you’d never see written about a Republican member of the United States Senate. The article in question is an article written Sunday by Mary Clare Jalonick and Marc Levy (yes it apparently took two people) which claims Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman wearing hoodies and gym shorts to work at the Capitol is proof he’s recovering from his depression and other after effects of suffering a stroke last year. 

In the article titled “Back in hoodies and gym shorts, Fetterman tackles Senate life after depression treatment“, Jalonick and Levy write in the opening paragraph that “Before Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman checkedhimselfin tothehospital for clinical depression in February, he walked the halls of the Senate stone-faced and dressed in formal suits. These days, he’s back to wearing the hoodies andgymshorts he was known for before he became a senator.” 

The duo reveal how Fetterman gets around the Senate’s strict dress-code: “He votes from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or the side entrance, making sure his “yay” or “nay” is recorded before ducking back out.”

Without any fact checking, context or analysis, Jalonick and Levy dutifully report that “People close to Fetterman say his relaxed, comfortable style is a sign that the senator is making a robust recovery after six weeks of inpatienttreatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where his clinical depression was treated with medication.”

Indeed the AP apparently likes Fetterman degrading the institution of the United States Senate by dressing like a slob. This next pull quote from the piece shows the AP is going right along with it: “Fetterman’s regular attire is redefining fashion in the stuffy Senate.”

“He’s turning heads on a daily basis as he walks the halls in his signature baggy Carhartt sweatshirts and saggy gym shorts, his hulking figure surrounded by much more formally dressed Washington types buzzing around the Capitol,” they add. 

Sadly, it appears there isn’t an institution in America that the media won’t help the left tear down.
