Even when you have not been following the information carefully, you are in all probability greater than conscious of who George Santos is — the first-term congressperson who represents New York’s third Congressional District, and whose begin within the Home has been marred by a number of allegations and scandals. Actually, I am unable to even get into all of them right here.
However one in every of his most up-to-date scandals was an unconfirmed rumor that he had carried out as a drag queen named Kitara Ravache in Brazil — which was backed up by a photograph of somebody who appears quite a bit like him in drag. George denied it and stated that it was “categorically false.”
The newest obsession from the media claiming that I’m a drag Queen or “carried out” as a drag Queen is categorically false.
The media continues to make outrageous claims about my life whereas I’m working to ship outcomes.
I can’t be distracted nor fazed by this.
That is particularly ironic, contemplating how far-right politicians and media figures have attacked drag queens over the previous yr with harmful accusations that not solely are false but additionally put drag performers’ lives probably in danger.
George later appeared to verify to reporters that it was him within the picture and in addition in movies, but additionally stated he was not a drag queen:

After all, all of this has been fodder for the late-night discuss reveals. And Jimmy Fallon had the enduring comic Jon Lovitz on his present to painting George and poke enjoyable in any respect the scandals surrounding him.
Properly, apparently George did not like every of the impersonations of him, and referred to as out Jon’s efficiency particularly in a tweet yesterday:
I’ve now been enshrined in late evening TV historical past with all these impersonations, however they’re all TERRIBLE to this point. Jon Lovitz is meant to be one of many best comedians of all time and that was embarrassing— for him not me! These comedians must step their sport up.
This led to the one and solely Skinny Legend herself, Trixie Mattel, stepping in to present somewhat gentle and humorous learn:
Properly, the interior Kitara Ravache jumped out and stated, “Oh, you need to learn? Properly, the library is open!” George responded by citing Trixie’s notorious All Stars 3 Snatch Recreation efficiency:
@trixiemattel Clearly all about weak appearing expertise @trixiemattel ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Additionally clearly, it appears as if George is a fan of Drag Race.
However George wasn’t accomplished simply but, and determined to go in for one closing blow — and, I hate to say it, however he kinda ate:
@trixiemattel It’s all good! I gained my race in opposition to the fan favourite too. 💪🏼🇺🇸
In the event you learn that and marvel what it means, effectively, Trixie gained All Stars 3 over frontrunner Shangela.
Now, Twitter being Twitter, there have been a LOT of people that had some hilarious responses to this complete change:
However actually, one of the best tweet needed to come from “America’s True Information Supply,” Pop Crave, which tweeted this headline:
Drag performers Trixie Mattel and George Santos commute at one another on Twitter.

Since final evening, Trixie has not responded to George’s newest tweet, so I assume it is secure to say that the library is formally closed.
