Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said during a radio interview as a candidate last year he would adhere to whatever dress code was in place if he was elected to the Senate. 

"Will you wear your hoodie on the Senate floor," Fetterman was asked during an interview with the Big K Morning Show in early October 2022 on the campaign trail. 

"I'm going to only wear what you're supposed to wear and whatever dress code," he responded.

"It’s really not about what I’m wearing, and if anyone that’s listening prefers somebody that dresses like a real person, or somebody that lives, excuse me, that wears a $5,000 fancy suit, then that’s really up to somebody. You can make your own conclusion."

Since being elected the month after that interview and taking office in January, Fetterman has not adhered to the Senate dress code and has often been seen around the building wearing gym shorts and his trademark hoodie. 

Additionally, Fetterman found a workaround to the legislative body's dress code rules by voting from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or the side entrance, making sure his vote is recorded before ducking out.

On Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer quietly announced the Senate’s dress code has been relaxed, excluding visitors.

"Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor. I will continue to wear a suit," Schumer said in a statement.

The move sparked outrage from some conservatives who dubbed the change the "Fetterman Rule" and panned the idea of lowering the standards for physical appearance in the Senate.

"The Senate no longer enforcing a dress code for Senators to appease Fetterman is disgraceful," Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X. "Dress code is one of society’s standards that set etiquette and respect for our institutions. Stop lowering the bar!"

Fetterman’s office did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital Tuesday.

"I don't know why the right side seems to be losing their minds over it, like, ahhhhh dogs and cats are living together and, you know, like the world spinning off its axis," Fetterman told Fox News Digital in an interview Monday. "But, you know, I think it's a good thing."

Jackson State Tigers women’s basketball coach Tomekia Reed took issue with how "60 Minutes" portrayed the Mississippi capital city in its interview with Deion Sanders.

Sanders coached the Jackson State football team for three seasons before he left for Colorado at the end of 2022. In the segment, Jackson, Mississippi, and Boulder, Colorado, were contrasted as two separate towns. The feature showed a dilapidated home in Jackson next to the greenery and open spaces in Boulder.

"The distance between Jackson and Boulder is 1,000 miles and immeasurably further culturally," "60 Minutes" correspondent Jon Wertheim said before leading into some of the statistics.

Wertheim said Sanders goes from a city that is 83% Black to a town that’s 1% Black and mentioned that Boulder even as a kite shop and mentioned the notion Sanders had never been fly-fishing.

Reed wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that "60 Minutes" did not do the city justice.

"y’all made Jackson, MS look horrible," Reed wrote. "You should be ashamed of yourselves for showing the worst house you can find in America and make it like that describes us. I’m not even sure if that abandoned house you showed is even in Jackson."

When one person asked what the segment was about, Reed replied, "It was comparing Jackson, MS to Boulder, CO. They showed very nice locations in Boulder and showed the worst they could find in Jackson, MS. We have so much more to show that wouldn’t have hurt @60Minutes to take time to spotlight."

"60 Minutes" did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sanders was asked about what he told the players he left behind in Jackson State when it was announced he was going to make the move to Colorado.

"Opportunity called. Sooner than later in life there will be opportunity that knocks at your door and at this juncture in my life, I felt like the opportunity for not only me but for my kids as well was tremendous," he said. "Not only did we take several kids from that team – three trainers, maybe 12 of the 14 staffers. So, we afforded to give people tremendous opportunity here."
