Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Businessinsider.com: “Rep. George Santos responds to drag queen photos: 'I was young and I had fun at a festival'”. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Rep. George Santos appeared to confirm the authenticity of images in which he appears to be dressed as a drag queen but rejected the label.
"I was not a drag queen. I was young and I had fun at a festival," Santos told reporters while arriving at an airport in New York City on Saturday, TMZ reported.
Recently surfaced images show Santos dressed in a red feathered dress while wearing a wig, jewelry, and make-up.
Eula Rochard, a drag performer from Brazil, said that she had known Santos as a drag queen and that he competed in drag in a beauty pageant under the name Kitara Ravache in 2008.
Rochard is pictured next to Santos in one of the images, and she posted another image of him appearing to be in drag on Instagram.
