The Senate has decided to get rid of its dress code, which means that Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) can continue coming to work in his hoodie and shorts. Some Republican members, including those in the House, have expressed their dissatisfaction with this decision, sparking a lively discussion on deeper issues.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to social media to express her outrage, describing the move as “disgraceful.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) then joined the conversation, bringing up an incident where Greene had shown explicit pictures of Hunter Biden during a House Oversight Committee hearing in July. Although Greene has faced criticism for her decision to use these explicit photos, it’s important to note that her intention was to shed light on the potential violation of the Mann Act by Hunter Biden. Some accuse her of engaging in “revenge porn,” but they fail to grasp the larger issue at hand.
To respond to Ocasio-Cortez’s post, Greene mentioned the potential Mann Act violations and even shared a less explicit but still provocative photo of one of the women involved in the case. She has posted several more photos to underscore her concerns about these violations. It’s worth mentioning that the July hearing is unrelated to the current dress code matter, but AOC’s post has actually brought more attention to the discussion surrounding the Mann Act violations.
Aren’t you the one who did revenge porn in a hearing https://t.co/N3YBXcuIxz

Shortly after the July 19 hearing, Greene and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to the Department of Justice, expressing their concerns about the potential violation of women’s rights by Hunter Biden. They recently renewed their request for documents pertaining to this case. If AOC wants to call out someone regarding dress codes, maybe she should focus on Fetterman himself. Our sister site, RedState, has extensively covered his responses to the backlash. Just as we wouldn’t expect a senator to dress like Fetterman, we also shouldn’t expect a senator to post controversial material from their official account. Unsurprisingly, AOC has yet to address her colleague’s behavior.
