Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas criticized Sen. John Fetterman for mocking a Democratic TikTok video, calling him unfit to comment due to his casual attire in the Senate.
The TikTok video, featuring Crockett and other Democratic lawmakers in a playful 'Choose Your Fighter' theme, aimed to humanize politicians but faced backlash from both conservatives and liberals.
Crockett defended the video during a CNN interview, emphasizing its intent to show that lawmakers are 'real people' and to provide a moment of levity for the public.
Fetterman, known for his casual dress and recent breaks with Democratic leadership, has faced criticism for his evolving political positions and perceived alignment with Republican initiatives.
The video and Fetterman's comments have sparked broader discussions about the balance between professional decorum and relatability in political representation.
