Drag Queen Featured In Marco Rubio Campaign Ad Responds: “Why Are You So Obsessed With Me?”
Poor little Marco should know to never fuck with drag queens. Via TheGuardian:
A drag queen called the Florida senator Marco Rubio a bigot, after the Republican included her in a campaign ad in which he attacked “the radical left”.
Lil Miss Hot Mess, who performs in Los Angeles, responded to Rubio in a video after he used footage of her reading to children during Drag Queen Story Hour, a children’s program that started in 2015.
“I have one question for Marco Rubio,” Lil Miss Hot Mess said in the video released by Glaad, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group.
Rubio’s ad is part of his campaign against his challenger in next month’s midterm elections, the current congresswoman Val Demings. In polling, Rubio leads by more than 4.5 points.
“The radical left will destroy America if we don’t stop them,” Rubio says in the ad. “They indoctrinate children and try to turn boys into girls.”
Rubio has targeted drag performers before. In June, he sent a letter to the secretary of the air force, Frank Kendall, urging him to cancel a Drag Queen Story Time event for children of service members at the Ramstein air force base in Germany.
