The Queen of Rap just can't help but be influential. Nicki Minaj is the subject of a new bill drawn up by none other than disgraced New York congressman and part-time drag queen, George Santos. Some may recognize his name from the firestorm that surrounded him in the press over the last few months. The congressman has been a vocal supporter of the Republican Party and some of the most far-right conservatives in politics. However, as drag performances have become the target of Republican ire as of late, Santos has been exposed as a former drag queen himself. In addition, he was also exposed for lying extensively on his resume about not his education and his work history.
Now, it has been revealed that George Santos has proposed a new bill called "The Minaj Act." As strange as it may seem, the bill is indeed named after Nicki Minaj. The reason for this? Back in the height of the vaccine madness, the Queen made a pretty controversial tweet. "My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent," she said. "So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied." While the bottom line of the message may have been good intentioned, fear mongering might not be the best way to get it across. Then you get situations like the current one, where far right Republicans name bills after you. The bill would seek to generate public confidence in vaccines before they are made available.
George Santos' Not-So-Hidden Past
George Santos has proven to be as untrustworthy as they come. Not only has he lied extensively, he has also proven his unwavering support of former president Donald Trump. He was one of the few that showed up for Trump when he was hauled in after his indictment. When you and Marjorie Taylor Greene are the two showing up to support, it's not a good sign. However, perhaps the most hilarious and outrageous of Santos' lies is the one where he denies ever having been a drag queen. Apparently he didn't know that there is plenty of photo and video evidence.
"The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or “performed” as a drag Queen is categorically false," Santos said on twitter. "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." What do you think of the new bill? Should George Santos be using Nicki's name for something like this? Let us know in the comments.
