Doocy made a rather humorous quip, asking if Biden will now be sporting shorts and a hoodie. This was an obvious jab at Senator John Fetterman, who has been wearing outrageously inappropriate attire on the Senate floor.
From BizPacReview:
“There are some new relaxed standards in town. Would President Biden ever show up to an official meeting wearing shorts and a hoodie?” he asked with a smile.
“You’ve — you’ve — I’m assuming you’re talking about the Senate when you say ‘relaxed standards,'” Jean-Pierre responded with a half-smile and chuckle.
“He was in the Senate for a long time,” Doocy pointed out, referring to Biden.
“I know, but I’m just —” she attempted to respond.
“He used to be the president of the Senate,” Doocy pointed out.
“I just want to make sure we’re clear what you’re talking about here,” the press secretary said, dancing around the topic.
“Does he think these are appropriate changes?” Doocy asked, cutting to the chase.
“You — you know the president. You’ve seen him. You’ve seen him for the past — as vice president, as senator. He — he dresses better than — than most of us here,” she said with a laugh. “And so, I’ll just leave it at that.”
“I’m not going to comment on how Senate is running their business and the decision that they’re — made. That is — that is up to them,” she added, avoiding a direct answer as usual.
“And then —” Doocy began.
“That is not for us to decide,” the press secretary responded, dismissing Doocy.
Honestly, this decision to allow our Senate to wear the kind of attire you see at your local Walmart is just the cherry on top of this clown show of a presidency.
