A drag queen and a senator were beefing on Twitter for the most ridiculous reasons.
If you didn’t know, Trixie Mattel is the latest person to slam George Santos and send the internet into a frenzy.
George Santos, one that everyone has been following, has had many allegations and scandals against him lately. Many have called upon Santos to resign after many of his resume credits were deemed false. The latest was an unconfirmed rumor that the house member for New York’s 3rd Congressional District actually performed as a drag queen named Kitara Ravache in Brazil. Of course, single outlet had a field day with this.
Santos was of course quite upset with all of this claiming that the drag queen he performed as was categorically false. And he said the media continued to make outrageous claims about his life.
The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or “performed” as a drag Queen is categorically false.
The media continues to make outrageous claims about my life while I am working to deliver results.
I will not be distracted nor fazed by this.

And even Jimmy Fallon and Jon Lovitz poked fun at all of the rumors and scandals…

Santos clapping back saying “I have now been enshrined in late night TV history with all these impersonations, but they are all TERRIBLE so far.”
I have now been enshrined in late night TV history with all these impersonations, but they are all TERRIBLE so far. Jon Lovitz is supposed to be one of the greatest comedians of all time and that was embarrassing— for him not me! These comedians need to step their game up.

And this is where things got real interesting. None other than Trixie Mattel chimed in on the situation after watching this all from the sidelines saying “maybe the source material was weak.” Which you have to admit is a pretty great library read if this was RPDR.

And it seems like the inner Kitara Ravache was gagged enough to fight back! Santos replied to the comment saying “Clearly you know all about weak acting skills Trixie Mattel.” So yes, the beef was hot and ready for the general public to watch. And it did not stop there.

Trixie Mattel responded to the situation stating “I am not an actor! I was young and I had fun at a festival!” This was Santo’s infamous defense when people questioned him in drag.

But of course Santos tried to have the final word saying “It’s all good! I won my race against the fan favorite too.”

And of course everyone else on Twitter had something to say about the situation as well. Some of the responses were pretty iconic and people really couldn’t believe this had happened. After this all happened, Trixie went on her merry way.
Santos has not responded on the thread since this incident.
