Embattled U.S. Rep. George Santos was drag queen in Brazil pageants, associates say

U.S. Representative George Santos competed as a drag queen in Brazilian beauty pageants 15 years ago, two acquaintances told Reuters on Wednesday, adding to contrasts that have drawn criticism of the openly gay Republican congressman's staunchly conservative views.

I honestly don’t understand why this is a big issue? I thought the left would celebrate his past and that he is openly gay.
The right is not against drag shows, they are against allowing young kids attending. In the article It brought up the Florida law, which again is for young children in k-3. So the battle is about what is age appropriate.

Not sure it’s so much this specific, and alleged, aspect of his past, but maybe rather a case of people are now looking and finding the extent of his lies. For instance, along with this news, some articles appeared yesterday pointing out he said his mother was in one of the twin towers on 9/11, yet, in fact, she was not in the United States that day. I had seen that debunked claim already, but ran into more articles published this week concerning that. So, in the effort to learn more about the “real” George Santos, things like this are uncovered, and articles written. I think it’s part of the “unmasking” of George Santos, more than actual criticism that he appeared in drag shows. But, yeah, it is being presented as “ironic”, given Republican gay bashing(and Santos allegedly ran in gay drag beauty contests in Brazil, Miss Gay Rio de Janeiro), and their focus on drag shows, for any reason, at times, in the recent past.

How does anyone know what Santos (if that’s even his real name. He’s gone by different names before) believes? Is he gay? He campaigned against drag shows and the trans community. Again, who knows what he actually believes?

Shouldn’t basic morality matter? I’d think that voters of any political party and ideology would be embarrassed to empower a complete fraud like Santos. But I guess power is all that matters these days?

I think he is gay because it’s the only thing he is not trying to hide or lie about.

Yeah, many of our options are embarrassing. I hope after his 2 years the district will make a correction. I didn’t follow Santos to much but most of this stuff came out after he won and not during the race. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

To be fair, power was all that ever mattered. What has changed is how it is acquired and who it is accessible to.

I think it's really more about him being a liar. But I do think his status as a liar is well established so additional evidence is just redundant at this point. The guy doesn't talk without lying.

You know it was the DOJ who did the search, right? The WH said they turned everything over all ready…

The documents were from Biden's time as vice president and a senator.

Driving the news: The search, which Bauer said took place at the invitation of the president's personal attorneys, uncovered documents that were from Biden's time as vice president and a senator.

  • DOJ asked that the search remain private until after it took place, “in accordance with its standard procedures, and we agreed to cooperate,” Bauer said.
  • Neither the president nor the first lady was at the Wilmington residence at the time, according to Richard Sauber, a member of the White House Counsel’s Office.

Who does the DoJ work for, in your mind?
 
Frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination.

“The world has lost one of its brightest stars,” Trump said. “But I see that we have another star who was equal to, but she stepped up and she is different. I’m serious, I thought I knew them both, I didn’t. I knew Diamond, but I didn’t know Silk at all. I just learned about Silk. You’re fantastic, you’re going to carry on beyond, beyond anybody’s wildest imaginations.”

After this belittlement for Hardaway’s partner-in-crime, Trump went on to — once again — claim without evidence that the 2020 election was stolen from him. This was accompanied by Trump breaking from the Hardaway honorifics in order to rail about the state of the country on a variety of fronts.

“How do we stop the cheating? How do we stop it where you get more votes, but you still don’t win?” Trump whined. “The answer is the Republicans have to get tougher, the top people have to get tougher, and you have to really swamp ’em.”
