Like Trump, Santos never told the truth about anything, but remember that a majority of Republicans in the House, 112 of 222, voted not to expel him.
Well, why would they? Republicans don’t care about lying or pesky things like morals or ethics or the rule of law unless it serves them.
Because he’s a drag queen- at least, part time.
Gotta protect the children!
(/s. I’d sooner trust a drag queen around kids than a priest, or republican.)
That's hilarious, how did I miss that?

I still don't understand how any queer person can be a republican, let alone get nominated within the party.
Black either. Or brown. Or red. Or yellow. Gotta be crazy to live a non white experience in America and vote Republican. Crazy, or stupid. Maybe both.
Seriously, one of the few remaining platforms they seem to rally around is delegitimizing trans people, fearmongering against drag queens, and censoring any books that acknowledge gay people exist. The Log Cabin Republicans have big Jews for Hitler energy.
time, lack of caring, and mostly, who really wants to air that man's dirty laundry?
It's the Republican hypocrisy that makes it noteworthy, vilifying drag queens while (for a time) defending a morally bankrupt one within their ranks.
