CNN hosts will moderate the presidential debate on Thursday — and why not? They have such amazing journalistic credibility.
On Tuesday, CNN’s Sara Sidner interviewed a drag queen, a woman who dresses up as a man who dresses up as a woman. (This woman couldn’t just be a woman; she had to dress up as a man dressed up as a woman. We have moved beyond the boundaries of logic.) This person goes by Brigitte Bandit. During the interview, Bandit talked about how it’s a scary time to exist in America as a drag queen.
Apparently, it’s not a scary enough time in America that Bandit can’t appear on national TV wearing drag.
When I first saw this, I wondered which one of these people was the CNN anchor because CNN is so filled with clowns. A CNN anchor is interviewing a woman dressed up as a man dressed up as a cartoon woman whom we are all supposed to take very seriously. We are all supposed to worship before the power of drag and acknowledge that this is what the Founders saw when they enshrined the First Amendment. Brigitte Bandit pontificated:
We already see so many attacks on our queer community. I already don’t feel safe in my own hometown, just dressed in drag like this. And it’s very scary for queer people to exist in a time where we see this kind of rhetoric being pushed by our lawmakers and the people who should care about other issues that actually affect the American people, other than attacking our community, our LGBTQIA+ community. It’s very disappointing and I hope for better for our country.
Why would people look weirdly at this person? Why? Why would you give weird looks to that person walking down the street with those eyebrows, that plastic Barbie doll stewardess outfit from 1955, and that weird eye makeup — while being a man?
Why would you look weirdly at that?

But CNN has its own perspective on this. Sidner praised the look: “The queens are calling on lawmakers to pass a national equality act. It could amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act, providing explicit protections for LGBTQ individuals. Joining me now is drag queen and activist Brigitte Bandit. Thank you, darling. Wow, what a wonderful look you have this morning. I know that took you some time.”
That’s a woman dressed as a man who is dressed as a woman.
But it’s society that has a problem, folks. It’s society and our lack of tolerance.
Bandit is “non-binary” and uses the personal pronouns “she,” “her,” “they,” and “them.”
What a country we’ve created for ourselves. George Washington would have been so proud.
Apparently CNN is.
