During a crucial impeachment hearing of United States President Donald Trump, a Democratic Congresswoman came dressed up as a Batgirl on October 31 for Halloween. Rep Katie Porter says that if she takes her work seriously does not mean that she takes herself seriously, thus sent a stern message out by deciding to wear a cape, mask, on a black costume for a vote which would decide the future of impeachment inquiry against President Trump. However, Porter made it a point to change her clothes before the vote on the House Financial Services Committee later that day.
Taking my work in Congress seriously doesn’t mean I take *myself* too seriously. To my kids Luke, Paul, and Betsy, I’m still just Mom—seeing the Bat Signal on Halloween & putting on a goofy costume come with the territory.

Stay safe trick-or-treating tonight, everyone! 🦇🦇 pic.twitter.com/5CXFNO3bpd
'This is outstanding'
Soon after Porter tweeted about it, the people of the internet called her post 'outstanding'. A lot of people said that they can see the Representative for CA45 being re-elected 'several times' some of the internet users confessed that they adore her for being exactly who she is, and requested her to stay 'long enough'. One of the Twitter users also said that growing up is optional while growing old is mandatory. Netizens also expressed their wish to exchange Porter with other lawmakers in the US.
the wonderful thing about you, is that you are smart, on top of things, but still driving that mini van, cutting coupons, and wearing a Halloween costume to work. People get that. You are a good mom and civil servant.

Thanks for being exactly who you are.
Please stay around long enough to run the world one day.
1. Katie Porter is awesome! She's not my congresswoman but she's had my respect from the moment she trolled Bill Maher to his face on his own show!

2. She's not Batman. She's Batgirl.
3. She understands that you don't abuse the power of your office for political gain. Do you?
I’m a Republican and I love this. No matter whether we agree or disagree, we need to continue to be feeling, fun and compassionate humans first. Thanks for the smile tonight!
