SHOCK PHOTOS, VIDEO: KIDS GIVE CASH TO DRAG QUEEN “PERFORMERS” AT PUBLIC LIBRARY
Children encouraged to hand cash to adult men at ‘All Ages Drag Show’
By Adan Salazar
Photos and video taken at a public library in Iowa show children giving money to drag queens as they perform on stage.
The disturbing images come from an All Ages Drag Show event held at the Ames Public Library on April 6.
“Come to a free, family-friendly evening of music and dance by local professional and amateur drag performers,” a flyer for the event sponsored by the library reads. “All ages are welcome to sign up and show off their talent…”
Photos show several children offering money to a man dressed as a woman wearing a skirt, high heels and a crop top.
An activist with the SafeLibraries watchdog group highlighted the images on Twitter earlier this week, asking if it was appropriate for the American Library Association to be sponsoring events like these across the country.
Video footage taken at the event also shows children handing money to full-grown men performing erotic dances fit for a strip club.
Responses on Twitter skewered the event, with one librarian calling it “absolutely appalling.”
One Twitter user pointed out a Facebook picture from last month showing library staff wearing a “Pride” shirt which says “Card-carrying member of the queerest library in the universe.”
Stay tuned for coverage of the upcoming Drag Queen Story Hour to be held in Leander, Texas on June 15. Read more here:
ANTIFA VOWS TO DEFEND DRAG QUEEN STORY TIME AT TEXAS LIBRARY –
HOUSE GOP LEADERS REMOVE STEVE KING FROM COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS
“Steve’s remarks are beneath the dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of America.”

House Republican leaders voted Monday to remove Rep. Steve King (R-IA) from all of his assigned committees after the Iowa Republican came under fire for his comments about white nationalism in a New York Times interview.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced Monday that the Republican Steering Committee voted not to give King any committee assignments in the current session of Congress.
McCarthy, in his statement announcing the decision, called King’s comments “beneath the dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of America.”
“Steve’s remarks are beneath the dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of America. His comments call into question whether he will treat all Americans equally, without regard for race and ethnicity,” McCarthy said in a statement.
“House Republicans are clear: We are all in this together, as fellow citizens equal before God and the law. As Congressman King’s fellow citizens, let us hope and pray earnestly that this action will lead to greater reflection and ultimately change on his part,” McCarthy added.
In the previous session of Congress, King had served on the House Agriculture, Judiciary, and Small Business committees. He also chaired the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice and was on his way to becoming a ranking member of that committee in the current session before the Steering Committee’s vote.
The Iowa Republican decried the committee’s decision as a “political decision that ignores the truth,” adding that the committee misinterpreted his remarks:
King faced pushback on Thursday after he told the Times that he raised questions about why the terms “white nationalist” and “white supremacist” are considered offensive.
His comments caused an uproar, prompting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to call his remarks “unworthy” of the office he holds.
“If he doesn’t understand why ‘white supremacy’ is offensive, he should find another line of work,” McConnell said.
King released a statement clarifying his comments soon after the Times article went live, stating that the Times‘ assumption that he was “an advocate for white nationalism” was incorrect.
King also “condemned” people who support bigotry and rejected “those labels and the evil ideology that they define.
