Even when you have not been following the information intently, you are most likely greater than conscious of who George Santos is — the first-term Home member who represents New York’s third Congressional District, and whose debut in Congress has been marred by a number of allegations and scandals. Actually, I can not even get into all of them right here.
However one of the vital current 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 seems to be so much like him in drag. George denied it and stated that it was “categorically false.”
The latest 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 12 months with harmful accusations that not solely are false but additionally put drag performers’ lives doubtlessly in danger.
George later appeared to verify to reporters that it was him within the photograph in addition to in movies, however he additionally stated he was not a drag queen:

In fact, all of this has been fodder for the late-night speak exhibits. And Jimmy Fallon had the enduring comic Jon Lovitz on his present to painting George and poke enjoyable in any respect the rumors and scandals surrounding him.
Nicely, apparently George did not like every of the impersonations of him, and known as out Jon’s efficiency specifically in a tweet yesterday:
I’ve now been enshrined in late night time 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 recreation up.
This led to the one and solely Skinny Legend herself, Trixie Mattel, stepping in to provide a bit of mild and humorous learn:
Nicely, the interior Kitara Ravache jumped out and stated, “Oh, you wish to learn? Nicely, the library is open!” George responded by citing Trixie’s notorious All Stars 3 Snatch Recreation efficiency:
@trixiemattel Clearly you understand all about weak appearing expertise @trixiemattel ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Additionally clearly, it appears as if George is a fan of Drag Race.
However George wasn’t performed simply but, and determined to go in for one remaining blow — and I hate to say it, however he kinda ate:
@trixiemattel It’s all good! I gained my race towards the fan favourite too. 💪🏼🇺🇸
If you happen to learn that and had been questioning what it means, properly, 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, the very 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 night time, Trixie has not responded to George’s newest tweet, so I suppose it is secure to say that the library is formally closed.
