Senate Democrats initially relaxed the Senate floor dress code, but after controversy, they passed a unanimous resolution to establish a more formal dress code. Liberal lawmakers who favored the relaxed code must now revise their look.
Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker argues that Democratic inconsistency with the Senate dress code is an example of the party’s failure to uphold its own standards, ultimately to the detriment of our society.
While the typical hypocrisy of Democrats is certainly annoying, the greater issue is the inconsistent standards that they set. Democrats have long been breaking apart society, piece by piece, dismantling the foundations of the family, dismantling the foundations of our culture. They’re even dismantling the basic understandings that we once had about freedom and capitalism. Seriously, when did it become acceptable for an American politician to proudly state that they are a socialist?
Democrats have broken down our sense of community to the point that Americans no longer have any kind of continuity of who we are as a people. And now, some senators think it’s okay just to wear hoodies and shorts and flip-flops on the Congressional Floor.
But this is the Democrat Party of today, and the one that will continue to be in charge if we don’t do something about it next year. Rules for thee and not for me. That’s the philosophy of Democrats, that’s their worldview. And that’s what we will get more of [in] 2025 if the election doesn’t flip these Biden administration folks out of business in election 2024.
