U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez caused a buzz on social media Thursday after photos and video emerged of her walking the halls of Congress with "Queer Eye" star Jonathan Van Ness.
Van Ness was in Capitol Hill this week with the other stars of "Queer Eye" to promote the Equality Act, which aims to provide federal protections for LGBTQ people.
The video, posted by Van Ness, was captioned, “Talking policy with @ocasio2018#equalityact” and shows the two talking as they walk down the hallways of Congress together, both sporting pink outfits and big smiles.
Comments on the post saw fans go wild for the duo.
“Well this is maximum amount of awesome I have ever seen in the halls of government!,” @angie_sugrim commented, while @simonsstuff wrote, “So much goodness and inspiration in one place.”
Others even mused on the duo taking their relationship to the Oval Office. "Next President and Vice President Please!!!,” @randilevinson wrote.
