Drag Race Star Santino Rice's Controversial Takes on Trump Spark Outrage Among Fans

Santino Rice continues to be both incredibly wrong and unabashedly confident about his terrible opinions. Best known for his work as a contestant on Project Runway season 5 and as a recurring judge on the first six seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race, Rice has a penchant for sharing his polarizing views, particularly on issues such as anti-vaccination and anti-abortion stances. Since his dismissal from Drag Race in 2015, Rice has veered further into cultural irrelevance, aligning himself with far-right Christian Nationalism. Rowan Ashley Smith of Out magazine says that to say one nice thing about Rice: if it takes "courage to be disliked," then this man has some of the most courage I've ever seen. He has truly become a parody of himself and the movement he is a part of. His Twitter feed is a masterclass in ultraconservative posting, filled with all-caps declarations celebrating America and its one and only savior, President Donald J. Trump, as far as you can scroll. For someone who frequently claims that through God all things are possible, Rice's behavior is less than Christlike. He once mocked Kamala Harris saying, "Calling Kamala Harris retarded is offensive to retards.” #Queer Up Drag Culture
