Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi meet with ‘Queer Eye’ cast

 

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got a visit from the cast of Netflix’s “Queer Eye” on Thursday to talk about the Equality Act.

Four members of the "Fab Five" — Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France and Bobby Berk — were on Capitol Hill on Thursday where they met Ocasio-Cortez, Pelosi and other Congress members. Karamo Brown, who is the “culture expert” in the popular Netflix series, was not at the meeting.

 

Van Ness also posted a group photo saying he’s “never been more proud.” He posted a separate video showing him, wearing a pink sweater and pleated flowy skirt, and Ocasio-Cortez, donning a pink suit, enthusiastically “talking policy.”

“I’m SCREAMING! Are you screaming?!” Berk wrote in his post, while France wrote in a selfie of him and the two congresswomen, “THE FUTURE IS FEMALE.”

 

“Both of us previously waiters. Today, one of us is championing for The Violence Against Women Act, ending the privatization of prisons, enacting gun-control policies and abolishing U.S Immigration and Customs enforcement, while the other regularly contemplates what kind of cheese to end the day with. Guess who’s who!” Porowski captioned his Instagram post with Ocasio-Cortez.

The castmembers were in Washington, D.C., to urge lawmakers to support the Equality Act, a bill that would protect LGBTQ individuals against discrimination. The bill, which would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964, was reintroduced in Congress in March.

"Depending on the state in this country you can be fired for all sorts of things, you have discrimination at jobs, you have discrimination in school," Van Ness said during a Wednesday panel at the Library of Congress.

 

Earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez invited Berk, the show's interior design expert, to give her congressional office a makeover.

 

“Hey @AOC! I’m in DC all week girl! Put me to work! ‘Have time… will work for democracy!’” Berk tweeted at the freshman congresswoman.

 

“Swing by our office!” she tweeted. “We’ve barely had time to hang anything up, three of my staffers are expecting babies, and we’ve got a bach pad/warehouse type situation out here. SOS!”

Kevin Spacey's lawyers returning to court in bar groping case

 

A judge will consider motions filed by lawyers for Kevin Spacey, who's charged with groping an 18-year-old man on Nantucket in 2016.

The Oscar-winning former "House of Cards" actor won't be present for Thursday's hearing at Nantucket District Court.

 

Spacey's attorneys have been seeking to preserve phone and electronic records between the man — who says Spacey unzipped his pants and fondled him — and the man's girlfriend at the time.

Spacey pleaded not guilty in January to felony indecent assault and battery. His lawyers have called the accusations "patently false."

 

The assault allegedly occurred at a restaurant on the island off Cape Cod where the young man worked as a busboy.

It's the first criminal case brought against Spacey after several sexual misconduct allegations crippled his career in 2017.
