George Santos is defending J.D. Vance as he faces allegations of dressing up like a woman when he was in law school … George says one thing is clear, it’s definitely NOT drag.
The ousted GOP congressman tells TMZ … the images allegedly showing Donald Trump‘s running mate wearing a blonde wig and a skirt come across as more cross-dresser than drag queen.
George, of course, has dealt with a similar scandal himself … when a former friend in Brazil posted an old photo from his days as a drag performer.
Difference is … George says he was a full-on drag queen as a teenager … and the Vance photos look more like a silly costume from a college house party.
The way George sees it … if these photos show a drag queen, then the fellas on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” are bona fide women.
Vance has not commented on the photos … and George isn’t sure that’s the best political strategy in this case.
George’s advice for Vance … own this and go after the Political Left for trying to shame him and frame him as a drag queen, at a time when the Left is fighting for legal protections for drag queens.
George is uniquely qualified for this topic … and he tells us why Vance doesn’t need to worry about Trump here.
We reached out to a rep for Vance, who had no comment.
