Social media users couldn’t resist the obvious comparison to Breaking Bad anti-hero Walter White when Keystone State Senator John Fetterman unveiled a new look on Saturday.
“Breaking sad,” one user quipped.
From The New York Post:
“Lost a bet with Karl,” Fetterman (D-PA) posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a selfie showing off a blocky pair of eyeglasses, a bushy new mustache — and the disappearance of his signature gray goatee.

The freshman Democrat, 53, did not describe the wager he had made with his 13-year-old son, but the photo sparked hundreds of reactions.
“Breaking sad,” one critic snarked.
“ITS TIME TO COOK,” posted Eric Torres.
Another revised Fetterman’s portrait to add the caption “Am I the knocks who one?” — a mixed-up version of the beloved character’s “I am the one who knocks” catchphrase, meant to mock the senator’s verbal stumbles in the wake of his 2022 stroke.
