Clothes Make the Man

More accurately, clothes reflect the man. John Fetterman dresses in a manner that is deliberately slovenly and inappropriate, and that appears intended to mock the institution of which he is a member. But it’s not just that: the rest of his conduct is similarly inappropriate and demeaning to the office he holds.
When Fetterman speaks, his brain damage is evident, and he can be an object of sympathy. But when he posts on social media, the sympathy factor is gone. He comes across like a troubled 15-year-old boy who never grew up.
