Congresswoman shows up to vote dressed as Batgirl
Rep. Katie Porter angered uppity Americans by wearing a costume to Congress ... on Halloween.
The Democratic representative from Southern California walked into the Capitol on Thursday morning in full Batgirl regalia, complete with a mask, a cape, and crime-fighting knee-high boots. Mediaite reports that she eventually dressed in more business formal clothing when she attended a vote in the Financial Services Committee, but kept the mask on.
In photos available for download on the National Republican Congressional Committee website, Porter completed the look with a purse full of paperwork and an iced coffee. We love a vigilante on the go!
