  • Congresswomen were seen dancing to Lizzo's hit "Truth Hurts" at a Congressional Black Caucus event on Friday night.

  • Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Ayanna Pressley responded to the videos of them dancing by saying that they were big Lizzo fans, because duh, who isn't a big Lizzo fan??


By now it should be pretty clear to everyone that Lizzo is a beautiful, amazing unicorn of a celebrity that we certainly do not deserve. Not only is she immensely talented/her songs are basically the best thing ever, but she also knows how to *werk* it the Met Gala and she volunteered to be the Bachelorette as long as her "pussy [gets] eaten at least once on the whole season." So yeah, she's my personal hero.

But it's not just random Cosmo writers (me again, hi!) and Rihanna (yes, the Rihanna) who are Lizzo fans! Apparently even the women of Congress can't get enough of Lizzo and her summer hit "Truth Hurts," cause Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, was just seen getting down to the song.

Rep. Omar was at a Congressional Black Caucus event on Friday night, and at some point, it turned into a party where she was in the middle of a group of women all dancing their hearts out. Someone caught the dance circle on video, and Omar retweeted it, writing, "We couldn’t celebrate #breakingconcreteceilings without jamming to my hometown girl @lizzo 🤣"

Omar even tweeted her own video of women dancing to Lizzo at the event, and called out her fellow congresswoman Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat from Massachusetts, as a fan, writing, "Even @AyannaPressley loves our home girl!" And because literally everyone is obsessed with Lizzo, Pressley responded to the video by writing, "It’s true we all love you @lizzo 😍😘"

In conclusion, Lizzo for president!!!
