NextImg:John Fetterman’s take on inflation is as sloppy as his clothing

Sen. John Fetterman’s not just a sloppy dresser — he’s sloppy with his facts, too.

The shambling, permanently dressed-down Pennsylvania Democrat made an unforced error during an amply justified callout of New York Times columnist David Brooks for a clueless tweet about the economy. 

Brooks was bemoaning a $78 airport meal, though in his case the tab was sky-high due to his throwing back double whiskies. 

Hobo Fett responded on X with: “This hoodie cost me $78. This is why Fox News thinks the economy is terrible.” 

Great joke, John! Make fun of people who worry about being able to afford clothes (as opposed to airport bar drinks)! 

His is even brand-name, a Carhartt.

No blue-collar cosplayer can do without one

But more crucially: That make of sweatshirt’s price tag has also been driven skyward by Bidenflation. 

Sen. John Fetterman’s joke on X, formerly known as Twitter, about the cost of sweatshirts backfired after a fact-check confirmed inflation has raised the price of hoodies.

Hoodies like it from Carhartt cost 20% more than they did at the start of Biden’s term.

So Fetterman managed to convert a slam dunk into a mega self-own. 

All while revealing that national Dems are in lockstep on economic denialism and have no idea how high prices are actually biting into the lives of average Americans. 

On essentials like food, energy, and mortgages, remember, the nation’s seen close to 25% inflation since Biden came in.

Brooks had the decency to apologize. Fetterman? Not so much. 

Between getting the Senate dress code abolished (but not for staffers) and spouting word salad on TV, we guess the hulking legislator’s schedule’s a little crowded.
