A Michigan attorney general is facing criticism after she suggested that there should be “a drag queen for every school.”
Attorney General Dana Nessel made the comments during a civil rights summit in Lansing, Michigan, on Wednesday.
Nessel is the first openly gay person voted into statewide office in Michigan.
“Drag queens make everything better. Drag queens are fun,” she is quoted as saying by Detroit News reporter Craig Mauger.
“A drag queen for every school,” she reportedly added. Mauger went on to tweet that Nessel admitted her comment had not been poll-tested.
Matt DePerno, the Republican candidate for attorney general, pummeled Nessel for the bizarre comments.
“Dana Nessel continues to show just how completely out of touch she is with Michiganders,” said DePerno in a statement.
DePerno criticized Nessel for backing the school lockdown measures during the pandemic.
“Students in the third grade are behind on their reading, our test scores are some of the worst in the country thanks to these disastrous COVID lockdowns and she calls for drag shows for kindergartners,” he added.
These sick SOB freaks! MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why exactly would anyone want a drag queen in a school? That kind of behavior is NOT normal in any way.
Then they could be like Salisbury, MD!
