Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., wears sunglasses, and among them are a striking pair of blue-mirror lens in a clear frame that he sported Thursday as he walked from the Capitol after the last votes of the week in the House. 

This isn’t the first time Gowdy has worn those frames.

Back in December, as Congress was wrapping up the year, Gowdy went with the old blue mirrors.
