Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was the first Democrat in the United States Senate to call for the resignation of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) after he was indicted on bribery-related charges last week.
And now, the first-term Pennsylvania senator is calling out some of his Democratic and Republican colleagues who have so far stayed silent on the criminal accusations facing the New Jersey Democrat.
Writing on Twitter, Fetterman contrasted the seeming lack of concern among some senators about the Menendez charges with their willingness to condemn him for not wearing a suit into the Senate.

"This week, I hope to see my colleagues fully address the alleged systemic corruption of Senator Menendez with the same vigor and velocity they brought to concerns about our dress code," he joked.
Republicans have been attacking Fetterman for not abiding by the traditional Senate dress code and wearing more casual attire to work than other senators.
Late last week, Fetterman revealed to Republicans that they could get him to wear a suit to work if they decided to fund the federal government and provide military aid to Ukraine.
"If those jagoffs in the House stop trying to shut our government down, and fully support Ukraine, then I will save democracy by wearing a suit on the Senate floor next week," he wrote.
