Drag-queen-hating, Kari Lake used to love drag queens so much that she did drag herself
Kari Lake is horrified by kids at drag shows but did she let her own daughter watch one?
Kari Lake is worried about the impact of drag shows on children but a well-known Valley drag queen in Phoenix says she performed at Lake's house, in front of Lake's young daughter.
Count Kari Lake among the outraged over the latest controversy to fire up the far right.
Drag queens, that would be.
It is, Lake assures us, positively indecent that children have attended drag performances.
“They kicked God out of schools and welcomed the Drag Queens,” she said on Friday, on Instagram and Twitter. “They took down our Flag and replaced it with a rainbow. They seek to disarm Americans and militarize our Enemies. Let’s bring back the basics: God, Guns & Glory.”
While we’re at it, let’s also bring in a drag queen who has known Lake for well over two decades.
Rick Stevens is one of the Valley's best known drag artists, performing for the last 25 years as Barbra Seville at theaters, bars and parties around town — and, he says, at parties held at Kari Lake’s home.
One of those parties, he says, was attended by Lake’s then-elementary school-aged daughter.
So you can imagine that Lake’s social media posts demonizing drag were a stunner.
“She’s friends with drag queens,” he told me. “She’s had her kid in front of a drag queen. I’ve done drag in her home for her friends and family. She’s not threatened by them. She would come to shows constantly. To make me be the bogeyman for political gain it was just too much.”
Stevens, who is supporting Democrat Katie Hobbs for governor, on Friday evening posted pictures of Lake posing with him and another drag performer as well as some of their correspondence from 2015. Similar pictures, dated 2012 and 2014, are posted to Kari Lake's social media.
The Lake campaign says Lake's daughter has never attended a drag show.
“Richard’s accusations were full of lies,” she said, in a statement emailed to me. “The event in question was a party at someone else’s house, and the performer was there as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. It wasn’t a drag show, and the issue we’re talking about isn’t adults attending drag shows, either. The issue is activists sexualizing young children, and that’s got to stop.”
