In a stunning twist that has left even the most seasoned political pundits scratching their perfectly-groomed heads, renowned homophobe and champion of 'traditional values,' Senator Bartholomew Butterscotch, has canceled all upcoming drag events in his district, citing concerns about 'the moral decay of our youth' and the 'unnaturalness' of men wearing dresses. However, mere hours later, Butterscotch debuted his own drag king performance, "King Charles III: The Reign of Sass," at a sold-out venue.

The show, described by critics as a 'masterclass in irony' and a 'breathtaking display of cognitive dissonance,' featured Butterscotch in a sequined Union Jack jumpsuit, belting out power ballads and delivering scathing political commentary – much of it directed at himself. One audience member, identified only as Brenda, was quoted as saying, "Honey, I've seen less shade thrown at RuPaul's Drag Race losers."

Butterscotch's spokesperson, a nervous-looking man named Chad who appeared to be hiding a bottle of Chardonnay in his briefcase, attempted to clarify the situation, stating that the Senator's actions were "a deeply personal journey of self-discovery... in a sparkly jumpsuit." He also claimed that the cancelled drag events were purely due to 'budgetary constraints,' while simultaneously confirming that the Senator had spent his entire campaign fund on custom-made sequined crowns and a lifetime supply of glitter glue.

The political fallout has been spectacular. The far-right are accusing Butterscotch of being a 'secret queen' and a 'Trojan horse of wokeness,' while the left are hailing him as an 'unintentional ally' and a 'walking, talking meme.' One Twitter user, @LilMissPrissyPants69, hilariously summarized the situation with a simple: "Bless his cotton socks. He's living his truth… one rhinestone at a time."

Meanwhile, the local drag community is reportedly planning a benefit show to raise money for new glitter – specifically, the kind that doesn't wash off in tears of self-aware laughter.
