Texas Republican Party fires ex-gay-former-prostitute-drag-queen field organizer

The Texas Republican Party has fired ex-gay Dallas resident Kevin Whitt. On Nov. 20, 2020, he was hired by the Republican Party to be a field organizer, according to the Texas Tribune. Yes, the election was over, so we’re not sure what he was hired to organize.

In 2019, Whitt organized the protest against Drag Queen Story Hour at the Grauwyler branch library in Dallas. You remember that protest when they showed up at the wrong library on the wrong day. Obviously not the most talented field organizer.

Whitt is seen in a video recorded in D.C. speaking to, well, no one, claiming to be an ex-transgender, ex-drag queen, ex-prostitute who had been the victim of sexual abuse as a child. He claims he wasn’t the victim of a reparative therapy scam. Just got invited to church and got saved. Here’s the video:

What was he doing in D.C.? Why taking part in the insurrection at the Capitol. Although he was on the steps, he isn’t accused of being among those who broke into the building.

That roughly equates to 5.5 encounters per day.

Even charging the bargain basement price of $20 per encounter, that means he had $1 million in "earned" income. That's approximately equal to what I earned in nearly 25 years and I have a bachelors degree in mathematics. Obviously, he didn't pay any income or social security taxes on his income.

How did spend all of that money? Drugs--I imagine that his partners paid for at least some of them. Wardrobe--makes me wonder if he ever wore the same outfit more than once. Transportation--taxis and Uber if he was stranded on occasion. Food--it doesn't look like he missed many meals and if he was using drugs then his appetite would have been suppressed.

The guy is either exaggerating or he should have some money in the bank. The story doesn't add up.
