CNN Asks Drag Queen To React To Donald Trump's 'Scary' Rhetoric

Posted • June 25, 2024: CNN's Kasie Hunt cut off her interview with Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt after Leavitt brought up debate moderator Jake Tapper's previous comparisons of Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. Hunt went on X to defend it, saying, "You come on my show, you respect my colleagues. Period."

Apparently, Tuesday is "Drag Lobby Day" on Capitol Hill, and Bandit is just one of three drag queens meeting with Congress. They'll be welcomed, for sure, by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who appeared on "RuPaul's Drag Race" to tell them they're "patriots" and she's "so proud to live in this country" with them. (…)
