From the New York Post: A drag queen performing at a New Orleans bar sparked outrage by miming the Butler, Pa. assassination attempt of President Trump, according to a viral video.
In a clip of a drag show posted online by Libs of TikTok, a drag queen in a black cowboy-style hat and wearing a leather ensemble forms a gun with their hands directed first at the audience.
The drag queen then turns toward a screen set behind a small stage that plays a clip of the moment Trump was shot in the ear by a would-be assassin at the Butler Farm Show grounds on July 13.
The performer makes firing machinations with their hands — as if they themselves were shooting at the president.
To make the stunt even worse, it was done to Rihanna’s song “Man Down,” and highlights the lyrics, “I pulled out that gun.”

The video has gotten over 3.5 million views, and social media users are voicing their outrage. Many users are tagging the FBI and the Secret Service.
Below are just a few of the comments being posted:
Nick Sortor: “This is exponentially worse than anything that happened on January 6th.”
Paul Szypula: “This is a jailable offense.”
Austin Hayek: “Absolutely despicable! This is “tolerant” group I’m assuming and love how they preach “love” and “joy as they would say and sit back and find and disturbing ways to prove they are anything but that. How sad of a society we live in where this is tolerated.”
“We really need to put together a mental health emergency center ASAP!” one person wrote.
