People are flocking to social media to mock Marjorie Taylor Greene after an old video of her boyfriend in drag has resurfaced.
The US representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district and far-right Republican hasn't made any efforts to hide her stance against drag queens and shows.
In short, she wants to ban children from visiting drag shows - shows she's branded as 'indoctrination,' 'wrong' and compared to a strip club.
Unfortunately for Greene, her attempted demonisation of drag performers has ended up becoming rather ironic, after resurfaced footage of her boyfriend, Brian Glenn, shows him dressed in a wig, pink cardigan and gloves and saying he even quite likes the get-up.

In the video, Glenn - a former anchor reporter for Fox News who currently hosts The Drive on talk radio station SuperTalk 99.7 WTN - is reporting for WFAA TV in Dallas.
Looking like an extra in Hairspray as he clutches his microphone, Glenn admits: "I’m kicking these shoes off.
"But I may keep the pantyhose on. It does feel kind of good, actually."
Greene has since taken to Twitter to respond to the resurfaced footage.
"I’m literally lol’ing. @brianglenntv dressed in drag for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production and the morons over at Patriot Takes think this is an attack.
"Brian loves the throwback and is reposting. The left is so stupid," she wrote.
Meanwhile, Glenn chimed: "The things I did for morning show television!! LOVED it and so did the @wfaa @WFAADaybreak viewers. It’s a good thing I have a sense of humor!"
'Sense of humour' or not, given the duo's hard-line view of drag, it's ironic they'd now make light of Glenn having dressed up, which viewers of the footage have quickly flocked to social media to point out.
One Redditer wrote: "This is who she was banging on the side while married??? That is so very poetic."
"We got two options here. She's going to dump him and they will all supress/slander his name, or he will be made an exception. Can't wait to see it!" another added.
A third responded: "He really isn’t an exception. It’s just okay when someone on their side does anything they rail against. Unless of course they don’t like you."
A fourth said: "'It’s ok guys it’s a joke if I do it and you’re all stupid but if other people do it they’re grooming pedophiles'."
And a final resolved: "Rules for thee but not for me!!"
