Rep. George Santos has responded to a report that claimed he used to dress in drag while living in Brazil.
"The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or “performed” as a drag Queen is categorically false," Santos tweeted on Thursday.
The denial comes a day after journalist Marisa Kabas posted a tweet that said she spoke to a Brazilian drag queen who said Santos would dress up in drag and go by the name Kitara. She also posted pictures of a person in drag that she claims is Santos. Following the report, Reuters said two of Santos' acquaintances confirmed that the congressman competed in drag queen beauty pageants 15 years ago.
