On Tuesday, journalists on Capitol Hill reported an odd disturbance: a woman taking off her shirt inside the gallery of the House of Representatives to protest the GOP's tax bill.
As The Cut reports, the protester's actions were first flagged by Politico's Anna Palmer joked that the scene looked like "House protesters gone wild."
NBC News' Jonathan Allen clarified that the woman was still wearing a bra when she removed her top.
A Capitol Hill source also confirmed to Raw Story that the disturbance did stem from a woman taking her shirt off during the hearing.
House floor feeds caught audio of the protest, though it does not appear anyone captured images or video of the protester, whose identity remains unknown.
