Drag queen blasts GOP candidate for Arizona governor

FILE - Arizona Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake acknowledges the crowd at a rally prior to her speaking before former President Donald Trump spoke on Jan. 15, 2022, in Florence, Ariz. Lake condemned the growing cultural clout of drag queens, jumping into the latest social grievance taking hold on the right. Her comments were quickly condemned by one of the most popular drag performers in Phoenix, who says Lake regularly attended drag shows and had photos on his social media accounts of Lake posing with drag queens and screenshots of his conversations with her.
