Gay Republican George Santos denies history as drag queen despite resurfaced photos
pic.twitter.com/6VqnEVZNXO— Keith Edwards (@keithedwards) January 19, 2023 Santos is an openly gay Republican who won a seat in Congress in 2021, but he has positioned himself as an anti-LGBTQ+ politician who has publicly supported Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law which prohibits discussing gender identity and sexual orientation in schools.In a video shared on his campaign’s Facebook page, Santos said, “As a gay man, I stand proudly behind not teaching our children sex or sexual orientation…That’s incumbent on the parents, not educators.
DeSantis, you have my full-blown support and I support your decision to protect our children’s innocence.”This is the latest scandal that demonstrates a stark contrast between Santos’ past actions and anti-LGBTQ+ conservative views, but he dismissed the allegation as a “recent obsession” by the media in a tweet on Thursday.The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or “performed” as a drag Queen is categorically false.The media continues to make outrageous claims about my life while I am working to deliver results.I will not be distracted nor fazed by this.— George Santos (@Santos4Congress) January 19, 2023 Democrats and Republicans are calling for George Santos to resign as ongoing investigations are highlighting lies about his career and personal history.He has reportedly used multiple aliases over the years and he continues to face questions about his resumé including fabrications about his accomplishments.
The schools that he claims to have graduated from have no records of him, and previous employers have denied working with him.Additionally, a disabled veteran claims that he stole thousands of dollars from a GoFundMe for his dying dog.
