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.

On a recent visit to the Isles of Scilly, Prince William provided a rare update on his wife, Kate Middleton.
The Princess of Wales is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy after a cancer diagnosis that followed an abdominal surgery earlier this year.
In March, Kate announced she was receiving treatment and would step back from public duties until deemed fit by her doctors.
While visiting a community hospital on the islands, Prince William responded to inquiries about her progress, stating, “She’s doing well, thank you, yes.” The trip also included engagements such as visiting a new project aimed at tackling homelessness and spending time with local groups on the beach.
Arriving by boat, the Prince engaged with the community, discussing upcoming summer preparations with harbour operators and local businesses. His visit, filled with personal and official interactions, highlighted ongoing royal commitments amidst personal challenges.
His father, King Charles, has also resumed public duties after his own health issues, underscoring a period of resilience for the royal family.
