Authorities are still seeking <a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/North\/Extradite-Rep-Santos-Brazil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to extradite him<\/a>. It&#8217;s true, it is now <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/22\/george-santos-admits-to-dressing-up-as-woman-but-denies-he-was-a-drag-queen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the story has changed yet again<\/a>. With the evidence seeming to be too much to deny any further, Santos has admitted that he is the person in women\u2019s garb seen in the photos, going by the name of Kitara. But he claims that his earlier response was still accurate because while he may have been dressing in drag, he wasn\u2019t a paid performer. (NY Post)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Lying Long Island Rep. George Santos finally admitted to dressing up as a woman in the past\u2014\u00a0though he denied he was a \u201cdrag queen\u201d While speaking to reporters at LaGuardia Airport Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I was not a drag queen in Brazil, guys. I was young and I had fun at a festival. Sue me for having a life,\u201d In his first public reply since Kitara allegations, the embattled Republican congressman said that he was a drag queen.<\/p>\n<p>Santos is an openly homosexual man who had tried to dismiss the cross-dressing reports that came out last week.<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/18\/george-santos-dressed-in-drag-more-than-decade-ago-in-brazil-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0a photo<\/a> Since 2008, the site has been online.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Eula Rochard, a Brazilian drag queen and ex-friend of Santos, provided the photographic evidence. And Rochard is backing up at least part of the congressman\u2019s story. She(?) said that Santos wasn\u2019t really a drag queen because \u201che did not have what it takes.\u201d (Ouch. That\u2019s gonna leave a mark.)<\/p>\n<p>This contradicts the words Santos uses in <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/19\/george-santos-boasted-about-brazil-drag-shows-in-2005\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the video<\/a>He also spoke out about his experience as a drag queen in the interview. But it\u2019s in keeping with what Rochard told reporters, saying that Santos \u201clied about everything.\u201d George Santos seems to be consistent, if not more. In the past, consistency was a virtue among politicians.<\/p>\n<p>This is one accusation where it\u2019s difficult to see why Santos would bother lying. It doesn&#8217;t matter if he was dressed in drag in Brazil. The guy is openly gay and as long as he\u2019s a consenting adult and there were no children involved, who cares how he dressed? His approval with the transgender community might increase if the story is told. He hasn\u2019t been there long enough to do anything to judge him by, but before he was even sworn in, <a href=\"https:\/\/today.yougov.com\/topics\/politics\/articles-reports\/2023\/01\/06\/what-americans-think-george-santos-congress-poll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a YouGov poll<\/a> His approval rating was 15%<\/p>\n<p>Santos manages to bring Saturday Night Live to you, if nothing else. <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/3824202-saturday-night-live-targets-george-santos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some fresh material<\/a> It is a pleasure to work with.
