Mitt Romney's grandson dresses as Pierre Delecto for Halloween

Equal parts lol and ugh.

Witty Halloween costumes can be difficult to come up with, but Mitt Romney's grandson had it easy this year.

Earlier in October, Slate's Ashley Feinberg revealed that the Republican senator of Utah was managing a secret Twitter account under the alias, Pierre Delecto.

Romney's second account was found after he dropped a few hints in an interview with the Atlantic's McKay Coppins. After the suspected account was revealed, Romney confirmed it was his by telling Coppins, "C'est moi."

For Halloween, Romney's grandson Thomas put on a black beret, a pair of sunglasses, and a mustache dressed as none other than the fictional Pierre Delecto.

On Thursday morning, Romney's eldest son Tagg shared photos of Thomas' Mitt-themed Halloween costume on Twitter. As you can see, Thomas is decked out in a suit and bow tie, and is even sporting a Mitt Romney Pierre Delecto name tag. Such commitment. Thomas' brother Joe clearly did not choose a political costume.

Romney received a great deal of criticism for lurking on Twitter with a secret account, but it seems his grandson's costume is just absurd and funny enough to make everyone stop screaming about politics — if only for a second.

Never underestimate the power of a solid Halloween costume.
