George Santos Appears To Confirm Drag Photo: 'Sue Me For Having A Life'

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) appeared to tell reporters on Saturday that he had dressed in drag but insisted that he was never a drag queen.

“No, I was not a drag queen in Brazil, guys. I was young and I had fun at a festival. Sue me for having a life,” Santos told reporters at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, according to CNN.

A Brazilian drag performer recently told journalists that Santos, who is gay, performed in Brazil as a drag queen named Kitara. She provided a picture of herself with another person in drag who she said was Santos at a parade in Rio de Janeiro.

In a tweet last week, Santos said the suggestion he was a drag performer was “categorically false.”

However, it appears Santos himself may have confirmed more than a decade ago that he performed in drag as a teenager in Brazil, Politico reported. According to a 2011 Wikipedia entry written by a user named Anthony Devolder ― one of Santos’ aliases ― Devolder started his “stage life at age 17 as [a] gay night club DRAG QUEEN.”

1. It's the LYING, stupid!

Just fucking tell the truth -- is that too much to ask???

[maxsolomon]

4. It's the HYPOCRISY

He's a MAGA Republic, hewing to standard RW cliches in his rhetoric. Here he is, ostensibly gay, performing in drag and downplaying it. Meanwhile his party is in the middle of a nationwide culture war to make drag illegal.

5. Yep, He should be able to "have a life" but

not others.

[Cha]

2. I hope he gets BUSTED FOR FEC

Violations. fuck your "life", Asshole.

3. The problem isn't your "having a life",

the problem is you’ve thrown your lot in with the political party hell-bent on vilifying and attacking that particular kind of life.

Oh, and also all the lies, fraud and grifting.

6. Kick

[Carlitos Brigante]

7. "..... having a life then doing my damnest to demonize others for "having a life". What a lowlife

scumbag.

[malaise]

8. FUCK HIM

He's in a party that is denying others their fun

[Irish_Dem]

9. It's how con artists roll out their cover for wrongdoing.

First, adamantly deny it. And see if that works.

When hard evidence appears, admit it happened, but claim it was just youthful fun.
Or blame someone else who made them do it.

Blame the evil press for intrusion, twisting and distorting the facts, invasion of privacy.

The end game is to claim victim status.
