House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi hilariously revealed that she’s set to be a guest judge on an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars this season.
All I can say is, you betta werk! Had a fabulous time with @RuPaul and good luck to all the queens. #DragRace https://t.co/ZrJDyDmuVh

Pelosi’s communication director, Ashley Etienne, claims that she is a huge fan of the show and the larger message of acceptance that it promotes to audiences. Etienne stated to NBC News, “She decided to go on the show because she’s a fan, but is also a fan of the larger message of pride in who you are.”
Social media reactions over the news have ranged from supportive excitement to baffled confusion (which, same), but most people seem curious and interested to watch her appearance on the beloved and incredibly popular reality show.
The California representative is slotted to appear in a season with other notable celebrity names including Vanessa Hudgens, Marc Jacobs and Shay Mitchell.
It’s safe to say this particular judge choice has caused quite the stir, and it will be interesting to see what the politician brings to the table for her episode.
The third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars will air January 25th on VH1.
