Ohio Senator JD Vance has found himself at the center of a firestorm after photos emerged of him dressed in drag during his college days. The images, which have gone viral on social media, have sparked a heated debate about hypocrisy and LGBTQ+ rights.
The photos, posted online by Matt Bernstein, show Vance wearing a blonde wig and a long dress. According to Travis Whitfill, who provided the photos, they were taken in 2012 while Vance was attending Yale Law School.
As the news spread, many people took to social media to express their outrage and disappointment. Some accused Vance of being a hypocrite, citing the GOP’s frequent attacks on drag culture and LGBTQ+ rights. Others poked fun at the situation, with one person joking that Vance’s photos were a case of “feelin’ cute, might run for Vice President later.”
However, not everyone was critical of Vance. Republican U.S. Representative George Santos defended Vance, saying that the photos were simply a case of Vance dressing up in a costume for a college party. Santos argued that the photos were not representative of drag culture and that Vance should not be shamed for his actions.
The controversy surrounding Vance’s photos has sparked a wider conversation about hypocrisy and LGBTQ+ rights. While Vance has yet to comment on the situation, the photos have left many questioning his stance on these issues.
