Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Thursday cheered the recent finding that his office had the third-highest percentage of LGBT staffers among Senate Democrats.
The first-term senator ranked just behind Sens. Bob Casey (D-PA) and Patty Murray (D-WA) in an annual survey published late last month by the Senate Democratic Diversity Initiative tracking representation of marginalized groups among staff.

Casey came in first, with 30% of his staff identifying as LGBT. Murray was close behind with 29%, while Fetterman had 28%.
Responding to a tweet that noted those numbers, Fetterman shared a meme of actress Jennifer Coolidge playing Tanya McQuoid in HBO's The White Lotus that replaced part of the text to read, "These gays, they're trying to run my Senate office."
