George Santos Lashes Out at Media Over Drag Queen Claims
‘OBSESSION’
“I will not be distracted nor fazed by this,” the Republican congressman said, after several reports claimed he used to perform under the name “Kitara.”
Rep. George Santos (R-NY) tore into the media on Thursday for what he described as the “categorically false” claim he used to perform as a drag queen. Images purporting to show Santos dressed in drag at a 2008 show in Brazil circulated Wednesday, along with interviews with a drag queen who said she knew Santos when he allegedly performed under the name “Kitara.” Santos, who backed Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay bill and aligned himself with the far right, dismissed the claims as the “most recent obsession from the media” in a statement on Twitter. “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,” he wrote.
