The long-standing and shady "Arroz con Pollo" politics that has plagued Miami-Dade County just got a little darker, or 'colorful," as City of Miami Commissioner Joe Carollo (R) has used taxpayer dollars to fund his weekly '"community organizing" public events, events that showcase Barney the Dinosaur-inspired drag queens twerking on stage with minors.
You can't make this up.
According to movie producer and director Billy Corben, at the most recent Little Havana edition of "Carollo's Corral," a drag queen took the stage and danced provacatively with a minor child.
Does Carollo, who is running for mayor of the city of Miami, find this wrong or offensive?
Well, according to an interview conducted by the New Times, Carollo defended drag queen Marytini as being a simple entertainer and someone that introduces "artists and bands" at the monthly events. Carollo emphasized that the drag queens that perform or whatever he says they do, "are not transvestites."
"She keeps the crowd entertained with jokes in between the acts," he adds. "She doesn't perform," said Carollo, but Corben's video on Instagram says otherwise.
Carollo's argument in defense of the drag queen's presence appears to have been nipped and tucked by Corben's video.
Watch the video. You be the judge. Is He/She performing?
The latest Drag Queen drama follows other instances were other municipalities organized similar all-age LGBTQ-friendly events that included drag queens.
Remember, this is an ongoing cultural fight that has "dragged" on for several years.
The Floridian was the first media outlet to report about the drag queen Christmas show that lead to Gov. Ron DeSantis to flex his gubernatorial muscles to try to stomp out drag queen Christmas shows. Attorney General James Uthmeier, who was Gov. DeSantis' chief of staff, has not commented on the monthly Carollo drag queen rump shaking event.
