【Twilight the Porno and Other XXX Parodies】

Rep. Katie Porter angered uppity Americans by wearing a costume to Congress ... on Twilight the Porno and Other XXX ParodiesHalloween.

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!

Porter's solo costume at the Capitol has the same energy as writer Katie Dippold's Babadook experience, which went viral after she tweeted about how she was the only one in full costume at a "grown ups drinking wine" party.
