A drag queen never forgets… which is bad news for the anti-drag candidate for Arizona governor, Kari Lake!
For those who don’t know, the Donald Trump-backed candidate has taken a hard stance against drag queens as GOP lawmakers try to ban drag anywhere minors are present.
Like most Republicans, Lake has unfairly dubbed drag as a form of “grooming” — a term that is typically used to describe pedophiles coercing children into sexual acts. The former news anchor doubled down on this stance in a Twitter post Friday, writing:
As Lake continues to lead the polls in her GOP primary race, one person has had enough of her anti-drag conjecture, especially considering Lake was apparently completely pro-drag in the past!

Richard Stevens, aka Phoenix drag queen Barbra Seville, took to Facebook to claim the gubernatorial candidate was once a big fan of the profession — and like any good queen, she brought the receipts.
Alongside photos of himself in full drag alongside Kari, the performer wrote:
Lake’s campaign team responded to Stevens’ claims on Sunday, discrediting him as “radicalized” and someone whose interests serve Katie Hobbs, the current Democratic frontrunner for Arizona governor.
The statement read:
Such a gross response!
Stevens gave a rebuttal to AZcentral.com, claiming that Lake once allowed her own daughter to attend a drag performance. He also insisted that family-friendly drag shows are not hyper-sexualized.
Do U think this tea will derail Kari’s run?
