Embattled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., has admitted to fabricating a number of aspects of his life and career but has denied having been a "performer" at drag events in his native Brazil. But former friends and artificial intelligence photographic analysis tools say otherwise.
The latest controversy for the far-right Republican began on Wednesday after Eula Rochard, a popular drag queen in Rio de Janeiro, accused Santos of having participated in drag events in 2007 and 2008 before he moved to the United States and began creating a new identity as a far-right Republican who openly aligned himself with anti-LGBT Christian supremacists who have accused drag performers of trying to sexually abuse children.
