Land of the free?
Embarrassment Tennessee. Lock him up
😂 Those are not at all the same thing but ok.
You all are pathetic, it's a comedy thing, see the girls dressed as men there too?
The world is becoming a bad place. We should not appoint useless rules.
DRAG IS DRAG
He wasn't performing in front of children…like reading books to them…big difference
Wow
I thought Cons were for free speech, they hide behind children with their hypocrisy. This is a slippery slope bill that will have consequences that every side will probably hate in the future.
LMAO!! Pubs are always hypocrites, I bet he 'hates' gays, too! ROFL
Are they banning the art completely from the state or only public display alone is banned?
The real question is, Can a drag artist dress up as Dolly Parton in Tennessee?
Do your research, NBC! Stop using words like SEEMINGLY–It either IS or IS NOT. As a Democrat, it makes me sick when I hear anchors of major news outlets dancing around FACTS in a report!! The only thing HICKS hear is a fact denying 'Could be' when you know otherwise. Take a cue from the British Anchors/Hosts and Nail the hypocrites to the Wall for their HATE MONGERING.
That fella likes to dress up a lot! Huh?
Nice pic
Just another Alt Right hypocrite gaslighting division to fill his wallet and get himself
a few extra years of a free ride in politics. Ignorant little boy.
Drag is fine @fun some ppl are so ignorant but that has to be fixed with educating them instead of yelling at them. 🌈
A Republican who's a complete hyperbolic hypocrite?! Fetch my fainting couch.
The hypocrisy is part of who they are!
Get him out of office and in prison NOW!!!!
That’s a picture of Jethreen Bodin.
He's got legs! 🔥
Conservatives love being against something and then when nobody is watching they do it…
Typical republican. I hope they drag him through the mud on every news outlet in the world
Well if men can no longer exchange humor with you ladies, whose gender most likely instigated this trend fashion, then we can no longer find it safe to exchange humor in order to protect the safety of the children. So the next time you think it’s safe to open your mouths you best think real long & hard about what you have to share. I’d rather show you no courtesy nor humor than be defiled by these monstrous deviants myself. Say goodbye to commonality ladies, eventually clarifying physiological labels earned will follow the character nature. Don’t expect to be treated like a lady any further, & if you prefer the beasts, options will appear to leave you alone & isolated with them. You gotta go to what you love. Have some, you earned it.
Weird how this always happens. Just like the Virginia governor in blackface.
I thought for a second I saw George Santos in that photo in drag
🤣🤣🤣
US states with a child poverty rate of 20% or higher? The Republican-led states of Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina where legislatures have not raised minimum wage above the federal $7.25 an hour.
What a wretchedly awful hypocrite.
In his mind, it is different, because it was a joke to him. He is a hypocritical, stupid, cruel creature. On top of it all, he’s a Klansman. Of course.
Tennessee hates freedom.🇺🇸
ROFL. Look at you now…
