Another T-shirt \u200btakes aim at Republican\u2064 criticism of the recent relaxation \u2063of the Senate&#8217;s dress code,\u200d which some\u2063 claim was influenced\u2064 by Fetterman&#8217;s preference for casual attire like sweatshirts and shorts.<\/p>\n<h3>Addressing the Rumors<\/h3>\n<p>When asked about the rumors of a body double, Fetterman responded\u2063 with a\u200d lighthearted comment \u2063to reporters, referring to the alleged double as &#8220;Sen.
