Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to ban children from drag shows – only 5 responses you need
Republican congresswoman and all-round conspiracy theory lover Marjorie Taylor Greene is no fan of drag shows, it turns out.
Specifically, she’s horrified by the possibility that a child might end up going to see one, so much so that she’s wants to make it illegal.
I’m introducing a bill to make it illegal for children to be exposed to Drag Queen performances.

For an insight into what might loosely be described as her thinking, here’s what she had to say about it a few days back.
This needs to be illegal.
What’s the difference in children stuffing cash in a drag queen bra and a strippers bra?
Nothing.
It’s wrong and it’s indoctrination. https://t.co/C9bJVZ5T2z— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) June 14, 2022
Greene, you might remember, is a fierce defender of America’s gun laws and in other news this week blamed a tampon shortage on transgender people.
And these are surely the only replies you need.
