George Santos & Trixie Mattel Get Into It on Twitter

George Santos and Trixie Mattel are in a Twitter tussle.

Santos wrote yesterday on Twitter,

I have now been enshrined in late night TV history with all these impersonations, but they are all TERRIBLE so far.
Jon Lovitz is supposed to be one of the greatest comedians of all time and that was embarrassing— for him not me! These comedians need to step their game up.”

Trixie responded,

Maybe the source material was weak.”

Santos then responded adding a gif of the Matel impersonating Ru on her season of All Stars,

Clearly you know all about weak acting skills @trixiemattel.”

Mattel then brought up Santos’ own past history of drag, writing:

I am not an actor! I was young and I had fun at a festival!”

That’s the same line Santos used when footage of him donning drag in Brazil recently surfaced. While the New York congressman admitted the footage was of him, he denied being a “drag queen,” telling reporters:

No, I was not a drag queen in Brazil, guys. I was young and I had fun at a festival. Sue me for having a life.”

Santos got the last word said,

It’s all good! I won my race against the fan favorite too.”

(Mattel beat competitor Kennedy Davenport in season 3 of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars; Santos beat Democrat Robert Zimmerman in a blue-leaning district.)
