"I've performed in her home (with children present)"

Richard Stevens, who has performed as drag queen Barbra Seville for decades, said in a Facebook post on Friday he and [Kari] Lake used to be friends but her recent comments on drag queens showed she was a “complete hypocrite.”

He included several photos of him and Lake and wrote: “I’ve performed for Kari’s birthday, I’ve performed in her home (with children present,) and I’ve performed for her at some of the seediest bars in Phoenix.”

In a text exchange with Insider, Stevens said he performed as Marilyn Monroe in front of Lake’s daughter, who was around 9 or 10 at the time, and again said he performed inside Lake’s home…

He spoke out after Lake waded into the latest target of conservative outrage: kids being exposed to drag queens. He included a screenshot of a tweet Lake had sent hours prior.

“They kicked God out of schools and welcomed the Drag Queens. They took down our Flag and replaced it with a rainbow,” she wrote. “They seek to disarm Americans and militarize our Enemies. Let’s bring back the basics: God, Guns & Glory.”
