While Ohio Senator JD Vance (R) remains silent on the newly emerged drag photos, former Rep. George Santos has been vocal on the matter.
On Sunday, a photo of the Republican vice presidential nominee in a blonde wig and a long dress went viral, drawing attention due to its clash with the GOP’s frequent stance against drag and LGBTQ+ rights.
The photos that caused a stir on the social media were posted on X by Matt Bernstein with the caption, “new: i have obtained a photo of jd vance in drag while at yale law school.”
The authenticity of the photos was confirmed by Travis Whitfill, who provided them, stating, “This was taken in 2012… Photo was taken by a classmate and sent to me.”
As expected, people reacted to the photo, with one person writing, “Ladies and gentleman, a picture of JD Vance in drag while attending Yale Law School. I don’t share this to shame those who do drag, but rather to shame those who attack drag while having a history of enjoying the art form themselves.” Someone else commented: “Feelin’ cute. Might run for Vice President later.” A third added: “Don’t call JD Vance weird because he wore drag. Call him a hypocrite and a bigot for demonizing others who wear drag.”
There were also those who stood for Vance, including Republican U.S. representative from New York George Santos who said Vance’s photos were more of a goofy costume from a college house party than drag, as reported by TMZ.
“To call that drag is disingenuous and I think most dudes at some point in their lives have played around with costumes that are gender bender. Couples do that all the time. The wife will dress up as a guy, the husband will dress up as a woman. It’s definitely not drag,” Santos said.

Emotional reaction of the pilot when he realized why birds were flying next to the plane
In the midst of a routine flight, Jason, a seasoned pilot, encountered a startling disruption that shook his world. A sudden barrage of loud bangs on the plane’s windows left him bewildered, grappling with the unknown source of this disturbance.
Casting his gaze across the horizon, Jason was met with a chilling sight, an enormous flock of birds not merely trailing the aircraft but actively assaulting it.
Frantically attempting to fend off the avian onslaught without jeopardizing the engine, Jason found himself in a precarious situation. Despite his efforts, the birds grew more aggressive, compelling Jason to reassure the uneasy passengers that he had control over the situation.
As the feathered assailants drew nearer, coordinating their attacks on the jet, Jason sought assistance from flight control. To exacerbate the predicament, the control tower remained eerily silent, leaving Jason struggling to maintain command of the aircraft as the avian horde extended beyond the city limits.
The situation escalated when attempting to return to the airport resulted in an even fiercer onslaught by the birds, causing the jet’s engine to fail and initiating a rapid descent.
In a daring move born of desperation, Jason opted for a water landing, a maneuver he had never executed before. Despite the turbulent landing, everyone aboard survived the ordeal.
Upon disembarkation, chaos ensued among the passengers. Despite the staff’s attempts to maintain order, some insisted on disembarking first, inviting further bird attacks. While rescue operations commenced, tugboats were dispatched to extract the plane from the water.
The persistent swarm of birds thwarted the rescue team’s attempts to approach, prompting Jason to propose creating disruptive noises to momentarily disorient the birds and facilitate towing the jet ashore.
A subsequent investigation, prompted by the arrival of law enforcement, uncovered a shocking revelation: a suspected passenger was implicated in the illegal trade of exotic birds. These trafficked birds had disrupted the flock, causing mayhem in the skies.
Justice prevailed when the implicated passenger was apprehended, bringing a sense of relief to Jason and the entire crew. Overwhelmed with gratitude that no lives were lost, Jason shed tears of relief.
His quick thinking not only averted tragedy but also exposed and halted a sinister trade that imperiled both human safety and the unwitting creatures caught up in this airborne spectacle.
This harrowing experience served as a stark reminder of the unpredictable challenges confronting aviation professionals. It underscored the vital role of pilots like Jason, who, in the face of unprecedented adversity, remained resolute in ensuring the safety of all on board.
The remarkable tale of courage and resilience against the odds stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and our capacity to surmount even the most extraordinary challenges.
Thanks to Jason’s swift actions, the illicit enterprise responsible for the aberrant bird behavior was dismantled, bringing an end to a dark chapter in aviation history.
