“It’s a crazy day in Washington! I’m flipping my wig over the high-energy proceedings today,” Myles said in an interview with NBC News. “Tensions are high, and the bar for who’s allowed in the Longworth House is very, very low.”

Someone did ask me last night if there’s anything in DC that surprises me anymore.

“Check us out on the app-i’ll be commenting on what’s going on, and probably causing a ruckus in day drag,” she posted, accompanied by cry-laughing emoji.

The award-winning drag queen was featured in “Cosmopolitan,” on RuPaul’s What’s the T Podcast, produces comedy show “Ham and Milk: An Unbalanced Meal with NYC’s The Dairy Queens,” and more.

Pissi Myles is broadcasting live from Longworth – about the impeachment hearings. “This is very important to the LGBTQ community,” she said. There have been #impeachment hearings here before but never as live and social media-fueled as these. ⁦@CBCTheNational⁩ pic.twitter.com/PAQzpg1dLZ
