Conservatives simply cannot believe Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) dared to wear a costume on Halloween.
“As House Democrats prepare to officially blow up their Majority with impeachment, @RepKatiePorter is prancing around dressed as Batman,” the National Republican Congressional Committee tweeted on Wednesday. “This is how seriously these clowns are taking impeachment. #CA45”

“They are voting on impeachment and Rep. Katie Porter is wearing a Batman costume,” fumed Carmine Sabia, managing editor for The Federalist.
“Democrat Rep. Katie Porter is making a mockery of the House of Representatives,” complained Steve Guest, the Republican National Committee’s rapid response director.
But multiple reporters confirmed the congresswoman only wore the costume during a Financial Services Committee session, not to the widely anticipated House vote on the impeachment resolution.
Porter shrugged off the outrage.
“Taking my work in Congress seriously doesn’t mean I take *myself* too seriously,” she tweeted. “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.”

Earlier in the day, Porter had one other correction for her critics: She’s not dressed as Batman.
“Batgirl,” she told Washington Post reporter Mike DeBonis. “It’s not Batman. It’s Batgirl.”
“It’s not Batman. It’s Batgirl.”
That’s funny.
Cold ice cream sucks, too.
Next coming down the hallway is a Democrat dressed up as the ghost of Judge John Sirica!
N0 doubt there to fight bat shit.
Obviously, Red States have run out of snowflake costumes…
