George Santos Defends JD Vance Against Drag Photo Controversy
HuffPost
“I think most dudes at some point in their lives have played around with costumes that are gender bender,” the former congressman told TMZ.
Ohio Sen. JD Vance (R) has yet to comment on recently resurfaced photos of him in drag — but, unsurprisingly, former congressmember George Santos has a lot to say.
On Sunday, a photo showing the Republican vice presidential candidate in a blond wig and long dress went viral on social media, in part because of its contrast to the harsh stance many in the GOP have taken against drag and the LGBTQ+ community.
The photo reportedly dates back to 2012, when Vance was a student at Yale Law School. A second photo was posted on Monday. While Vance’s campaign didn’t respond to HuffPost inquiries, it didn’t deny the photos were legit to The Daily Beast.
Santos insisted that Vance wasn’t doing “drag,” he was just wearing a dress.
“To call that drag is disingenuous and I think most dudes at some point in their lives have played around with costumes that are gender bender,” the controversial former congressman told TMZ. “Couples do that all the time. The wife will dress up as a guy, the husband will dress up as a woman. It’s definitely not drag.”
