In a twist we didn’t see coming, the Trump impeachment hearings kicked off with a fabulous appearance from drag queen Candy Twirls. On the opening day of the hearings, Candy strutted through the halls of Washington D.C.’s Longworth House in a striking red ensemble complete with high heels and an oversized hairdo, breezing past security as if she were entering a lively drag show.
“It’s a wild day in the capital! I’m absolutely losing it over the electric atmosphere here,” Candy remarked to a reporter from NBC News. “The energy is palpable, and let’s be real, the criteria for entering Longworth House seems pretty relaxed today.”
Candy is not just any drag queen; she’s known for her performances across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and she even hosts a podcast titled “My Spooky Gay Family.” She became an internet sensation in 2017 with her parody of the horror classic The Babadook, dubbed “Babashook.”
Why Was a Drag Performer at a Political Event?
So, what brought a drag performer to such a pivotal political event? Candy was on-site covering the hearings live for Happs, a fresh streaming platform dedicated to news. Her partner, Alex Rivers, shared with NBC that Happs was on the lookout for a comedian who could deliver news in a lively manner, and it appears they hit the jackpot with Candy.
Her presence was so well-received that U.S. Representative Laura Green from Illinois snapped a selfie with her, commenting, “So thrilled [Candy Twirls] and I were twinning today!” The footage of Candy gliding through the metal detector has become a highlight, and it’s safe to say it’ll be on repeat for quite a while.
A reporter from Canada’s CBC News quoted Candy as saying her attendance at the hearings was “crucial for the LGBTQ community.” While the Trump impeachment hearings are poised to be an unforgettable moment in American history, Candy Twirls’ attendance turned it into a legendary occasion. It’s the impeachment hearing, but with a fabulous twist.
