Scandal-ridden US politician George Santos has denied participating in a drag show after video appeared to show him in a dress, necklace and earrings at a gay pride parade in Brazil. Video obtained by Reuters appeared to show Santos in drag at a gay pride parade in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro in 2005. A performer who goes by the stage name Eula Rochard told the news agency she became friends with Santos at the parade - and that he performed in a drag show three years later.Santos described the claims as"categorically false", adding:"I will not be distracted nor fazed by this."And Santos was yesterday appointed to a pair of powerful committee positions by newly elected Speaker Kevin McCarthy.But the New York representative has come under fire over a series of scandals.
He has admitted he did not graduate from college or work at two major Wall Street firms listed on his CV.Santos claimed his mother was inside the World Trade Center during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but records obtained by NBC News suggest she was living in Brazil at the time. His campaign website said his mother died a few years after the attacks; she died in 2016, according to US media reports.
