Everybody's laughing at George Santos, Drag Queen, right? Just look at these photos, side by side: the same nose, the same chin, the same eyebrows. It's him, no matter how strenuously he may deny it.
But let's not just laugh — let's put this situation to good use.
Considering all the horrific anti-drag, anti-trans, and other legislation coming from Republicans these days in Washington and across the country, Democrats need to demand that Congressional GOP leaders actively support Santos's drag life.
Since they're excusing all the other suspect parts of George's biography, they need to strenuously affirm that his drag days in no way disqualify him from serving in Congress. (If he's proven to not be an American citizen, of course, that's another matter.) The Democratic leadership should insist not just that the GOP silence end — Republicans must offer full-throated support for Santos in sequins.
And after the Democrats demand it, journalists must pick up the baton — and not let Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, Elise "Elsie" Stefanik, or any other member of the GOP caucus walk the halls of Capitol Hill without being asked about it.
See how it can work? Easy-peasy. We cats PURR.
