At 6′ 8,″ Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is used to turning heads when he walks into a room.

The same held true Monday when he attended Trump’s Inauguration wearing his signature hoodie and shorts, while many other men in attendance donned the usual suit and tie, per a report in People.

Even though that is Fetterman’s usual garb, his attire still drew attention as the 55-year-old senator sat in the front row in the Capitol Rotunda.

Fetterman caught the eye of CBS reporter Scott MacFarlane as he arrived at the venue.

ā€œWind chill in the teens… as Sen John Fetterman (D-PA) arrives at Capitol in shorts,ā€ MacFarlane posted on X.

Fetterman’s appearance has been the subject of controversy as many deem it inappropriate for a senator.

However, Fetterman has defended his wardrobe and had an op-ed published by NBC News in September 2022, when he wrote aboutĀ the meaning behind some of his tattoos.

Fetterman wrote the nine tattoos on his right forearm symbolize ā€œa day on which someone died violently while I was mayor of Braddock.ā€

The opinions posted on X ranged from Fetterman being a disgrace to him just being himself.
