House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, called it “an honor” to make a guest appearance on the latest episode of the drag show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
“It was an honor to make an appearance on episode 5 of @RuPaulsDragRace All Stars 7 this week,” Pelosi said. “I was inspired by the contestants because they know their power. Their freedom of expression is what America is all about.”
During her appearance, Pelosi told the contestants she was proud of them and thanked them “for the joy and beauty they bring to the world.”
“Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what America is all about,” she added. “I say that all the time to my friends in drag.”
Her appearance this week wasn’t the first on one of RuPaul’s shows. She was also on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in 2018.
“This idea of people believing in themselves, being themselves, taking pride in themselves, is not just a lesson for politicians but for everyone in the country. And that’s why I was so excited and couldn’t resist being on the show,” Pelosi told The Hollywood Reporter after her first appearance.
Pelosi did not let this week’s appearance go without making a political statement. “With the midterm elections coming up, it’s very important for people to make their voices and their vote heard,” she said.
