Meatball Did A George Santos Drag Number & The Internet Is Cackling
Whatever you’re doing stop and watch this instead.
The greatest thing on the Internet today has been located, and it's drag artist Meatball doing a drag number as the (inexplicably still a Congressman) George Santos. We’re cackling.
Meatball takes the stage in a three-piece suit in front of an image of Santos and begins performing and revealing his true drag identity while lipsyncing to “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman. The message is clear, the camp level is epic, and we are living for it.
The performance was caught on camera and posted to TikTok user @chainne with the caption, “the best drag number ever?”
You watch and decide:
@chianne 💯 #georgesantos #drag #thisisme @meatballthedragqueen
This isn't the first time that Meatball has done a send-up of the controversial (and much-derided) congressman. The drag artist did a “get ready” with me in character and it is hilarious.
“As you know I hate drag queens, but I love their makeup,” he begins, referencing the out gay/ anti-gay Republican’s uncovered drag past. “Today I’m using the Kim Chi chic a really good foundation and I'm going in and giving it full coverage, covering all those lies. The good thing about this foundation is that it's wonderful for my combination of Brazilian/Jewish skin — you know what I mean.”
@meatballthedragqueen Its me. George Santos. #greenscreen
He also did a bit about Santos delivering cupcakes to his fellow senators, which is so wonderfully bizarre.

Naturally, Meatball’s performance has fans dying on Twitter.
