WASHINGTON - Asbury Park is in the house at the impeachment hearings of President Donald Trump.

Pissi Myles, an Asbury Park-based drag queen, caused a stir on social media when she arrived on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.

“It’s a crazy day in Washington! I’m flipping my wig over the high-energy proceedings today," Myles told NBC News in its report on her appearance. "Tensions are high, and the bar for who’s allowed in the Longworth House is very, very low.”

With her arrival to the impeachment hearings on Trump's interactions with Ukraine, Myles caught the attention of many across social media on Wednesday.

"THIS is what Democracy looks like!" tweeted "Today Show" reporter Alexander Kacala, while C-SPAN producer Annie Anderson told her Twitter followers that "I have lost all of my power to be productive today as I am only interested in Pissi Myles sightings."
