Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) began selling merchandise on his campaign website that pokes fun at conspiracy theories the senator has “body doubles” on Capitol Hill.
The merchandise includes a “John Fetterman’s Body Double” T-shirt on sale for $35 and a T-shirt that targets criticism from Republicans about the recent relaxation of a dress code in the Senate. Critics of the change have claimed it was in response to Fetterman’s preference to wear sweatshirts and shorts around the Capitol.

Fetterman spoke about the rumors of a body double on Capitol Hill to reporters on Tuesday, joking the rumored body double was actually “Sen. Guy Incognito.” The name was a reference to the doppelganger of The Simpsons’s Homer Simpson.
“Big thanks to my body double, Sen. Guy Incognito, for taking hallway questions for me,” the senator posted to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. Fetterman also included an audio of the exchange with reporters.
Senators previously were required to wear suits and ties, and women were required to wear business attire.
The second T-shirt comes after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) relaxed the dress code for the Senate to include more casual wear. The shirt compiles different remarks from conservatives, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who called the dress code change “disgraceful” and accused the upper chamber of “appeasing” Fetterman. The shirt also includes former President Donald Trump calling Fetterman “disgusting.”
“The Senate no longer enforcing a dress code for Senators to appease Fetterman is disgraceful,” Greene posted to X. “Dress code is one of society’s standards that set etiquette and respect for our institutions. Stop lowering the bar!”

Fetterman responded to Greene’s critique by stating that she showed inappropriate images of Hunter Biden in the lower chamber.
“Thankfully, the nation’s lower chamber lives by a higher code of conduct: displaying ding-a-ling pics in public hearings,” Fetterman said.
