Former friends of Republican congressman George Santos said Wednesday that he performed as a drag queen in Brazil, more than a decade before he was elected as a member of the party that is now pushing to limit drag shows across the country.
Eula Rochard, a 58-year-old drag queen in the Brazilian town of Niteroi, published a photo to her Instagram last week purportedly showing her and Santos, who allegedly went by the drag name Kitara Ravache at the time. She repeated that claim in interviews with the newsletter The Handbasket and Reuters, and another person from Niteroi told Reuters that Santos competed in drag pageants and wanted to be Miss Gay Rio de Janiero.
Since almost everything Santos has said about his past and his family have been proen to be lies, this storyis likely also true. Which is pretty ironic, given that he's a member of a party that would like nothing better than to criminalize being anything other than a straight (and, presumably, white) frequent church-goer.
