They are the Boys and the Hoodies.
Sen. John Fetterman met his sartorial challenge this week at the Capitol. The Post's intrepid reporter John Levin was praised by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party for emulating his “style” on the now-famous Big Apple cover.
“I love it. I saw that article too, and honestly, I laughed out loud when I saw it. That's the truth,” Fetterman said Thursday at Mano a Slobo at the U.S. Capitol. he spat at Mr. Levine, who was wearing the same “throwback” hoodie and shorts he wore on the front page of “Haute Metz” at the conference.
The paper gave a copy of what has now become a collector's item to the Keystone State's most famous pauper. In it, Mr. Levine, inspired by the one-time change in the Senate's dress code to accommodate the senator's notoriously tacky wardrobe, attempted to dine in New York City's most exclusive restaurants in his clothes. . Like him.
Fetterman vowed that the next time he visits Gotham, he'll try out his hoodie at Gotham's finest restaurant.
“I'm giving you an open invitation. We're going to New York in a few weeks, and I'm going to go with you and test your theory. I'll do it. You'll get it. Laugh at yourself.” I have to.”
The Senate later defeated the hasty retreat, with Mr. Fetterman claiming on the floor in August that he was buttoning up more, or at least wearing shirts with buttons.
Fetterman said he comes from a family of avid Post readers, especially his father, Carl, who, at age 73, still lives in Pennsylvania.
“Please give my thanks to my father, Carl Fetterman. He's a big fan of the Post. That's the truth. I promise he'll read it.”
