Ron DeSantis and Kari Lake get their much-needed drag makeovers
The Daily Show.In recent months, some on the far-right have gone to war on the issue of drag queens, especially when it comes to children.
But do any of them actually know what drag’s all about and why family-friendly drag shows are nothing to fear?The Daily Show correspondent Dulcé Sloan and RuPaul’s Drag Race star Kerri Colby collaborated on a short segment this week in which they critiqued some of the leading anti-drag Republicans and highlighted how a drag makeover might improve them.“Conservatives have been acting like drag is some brand new thing that liberals dreamed up to turn your kids into glitter demons!” says Sloan. “Maybe these conservatives wouldn’t be so scared of drag if they could just to know how it could help them.”Related: Kari Lake praises Ron DeSantis for his well-endowed leadershipFirst up, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who famously signed the state’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill into law in the spring.
He also filed a complaint against a Miami restaurant for letting children into a drag brunch event.“This man looks like he’s doing Tucker Carlson cosplay,” observes Colby, before Sloan points out DiSantis’ “Jim Crow’s feet”.
