Marjorie Taylor Greene’s vocal criticisms of drag performers have stirred controversy, with her efforts to restrict children’s exposure to drag queen performances drawing attention. Similarly, her boyfriend, Brian Glenn, has echoed contentious sentiments, including remarks about transgender athlete Brittney Griner. So, when footage emerged of Glenn in drag promoting a play, it seemed like a twist of fate.
Despite the irony, neither Greene nor Glenn seemed fazed by the ensuing uproar. Greene, in typical fashion, responded with amusement, seemingly oblivious to the underlying irony. She took to social media to share her amusement, dismissing the situation as laughable and criticizing those who found fault with Glenn’s past drag appearance. However, she conveniently sidestepped addressing the inconsistency in her stance on drag performances.
Glenn, too, found humor in the situation, joking about his past stint in drag on a morning news show. Like Greene, he opted not to delve into the contradictions between his actions and their stance against drag performances, choosing instead to embrace the levity of the moment.
Their nonchalant responses hint at a pattern of dismissing criticism, as seen in Glenn’s earlier remarks about foul language on his Christian network. Their lack of concern for the implications of their actions suggests a disregard for the deeper issues at play, reinforcing a perception of insensitivity and indifference.
In the end, Greene and Glenn’s reactions reflect a willingness to shrug off scrutiny and maintain their controversial positions, regardless of the inconsistencies highlighted by their own actions.
