A drag queen confronted Aaron Schock at karaoke night. Here's what happened.
When a friend pointed out that disgraced former Republican Congressman Aaron Schock was in the audience, drag performer Jonnie Reinhart knew he had to do something. Schock, who had a reliably anti-LGBT voting record in office, has been photographed making out with men and stuffing dollars down male stripper’s underwear.
“He’s drawn major criticism from the queer community – rightfully so – for basically being a giant hypocrite,” Reinhart recounted in a video posted to Facebook. “He attended the karaoke night that I host and… I immediately felt like it was my responsibility to say or do something.”
“I’m not a confrontational person,” Reinhart continued. “My heart started racing and I was like ‘Okay, what am I going to do?’ I know a lot of people would have loved for me to just kick him out or throw a drink at him or call him out on the mic or just do something big.”
“But I decided to share a message through song, so I went on stage and I announced ‘This song goes out to somebody who’s in the audience and it goes out to anybody who votes against gay rights.’ And I sang ‘Fuck You’ by Lily Allen. Which was, you know, not a very subtle message.”
