Democratic Senator John Federman late last week had the ultimate clap back to Matt Gaetz
attacking him over his wardrobe.
Here's what happened.
Matt Gaetz got on Twitter now called X, but it's always gonna be Twitter to me.
And, uh, Matt Gaetz said, unfortunately the United States Senate isn't a fair jury, it's
full of fashion icons like John Fetterman.
And then of course he shared a clip of a video that he had with Steve Bannon where the two
were laughing about John Fetterman mocking the way he dresses.
Now anybody who's been paying attention understands the federman actually likes to keep it pretty
casual.
You know, no argument about that.
And I also have no problem with that.
Your ability to act as a lawmaker is not dependent upon what kind of clothing you are wearing.
And I think that's idiotic and a bit archaic.
But anyway, after Matt Gaetz posted this on social media, Federman responded, thusly man,
bit of a language warning, but I'm gonna read it in its entirety.
Government shutdown in T minus 16 days instead of crying about how I dress, how about you
get your together and do your job, bud?
I love that.
I love the simplicity of it.
I love that he reminded the country that, hey, at the time we have 16 days till government
shut down.
Now we got about 12 days at this point.
And people like Matt Gates are actually instigating the shutdown.
It it, it's not that, oh God, the shutdown down's inevitable.
We gotta scramble to do things.
Gates and other members of the Republican party are hoping for the shutdown.
Gates is the one in particular who is like, if my hostage demands, my terroristic demands
are not met, we're gonna have a government shutdown.
He is actively trying to make that happen.
And that's what Fetterman is calling out here like, yeah, you can about the fact that I
wear basketball shorts or that I wear a hoodie all you want.
It doesn't change the fact that you are leading us into a government shutdown.
Which do you think the public should be more concerned about, Matt?
The fact that I may not be wearing a tie today, or the fact that thousands of government workers
are going to be furloughed, the economy is going to lose millions of dollars in activity
every single day of a shutdown.
Which one do you think actually matters when families sit around their table in the evening
to have dinner when spouses are talking to one another about the problems?
Like, oh God, sorry honey, but I was furloughed.
We can't pay the mortgage this month.
Do you think the spouse is gonna reply?
Yeah, but I sure wish John Fetterman would put on a suit jacket every now and then, right?
No, no.
I can promise you there will be literally
No families that make that their priority.
They're gonna be talking about people like Matt Gaetz having his little petulant, whiny
child meltdown that caused this shutdown in the first place.
But there's something else I want to hit on here because this is more of a character thing
for Matt Gaetz when the whole scandal with Matt Gaetz, you know, and the Venmo and all
that stuff first came out, um, well actually a month or so after, uh, reporters had tracked
down people that went to college and high school with Matt Gaetz and they basically
confirmed that yeah, this was, you know, kind of a, kind of just a guy.
And here we have Matt Gaetz, who is now, uh, 40 plus years old.
40 41 ish.
Uh, I think he is a year older than me.
So he hasn't changed since high school.
He's still that bully.
He's still the, oh, my daddy's got money, I'm gonna mock the way you dress.
And oh, look at me in my finely Taylor suits and I've lost all my weight and I spend so
much time on my hair.
'cause I'm just like the super coolest guy here.
And you've got this guy can't even be bothered to put on a suit.
You're a bully.
And, and one thing that, that most bullies are actually smart enough to understand, you're
clearly not.
Uh, but most bullies understand too, you, you don't bully somebody that's like twice
your size.
'cause Matt, I know you've obviously seen John Federman, right?
You've seen him enough to know how he dresses.
You've also seen him enough to know that he could just go boink like a cartoon character
and send you like four feet into the ground.
So I don't know, bud, maybe watch it a bit.
I'm not saying that John Federman would.
All I'm saying is that if John Federman did and I was the only one there, I sure as hell
wouldn't wanna stop him.
So pick your targets a little more wisely because not only is John Fetterman bigger
and far more capable than you, but based on his response on social media, he's also a
hell of a lot smarter than you too.
