In a stunning twist that's more dramatic than a Bob Mackie gown reveal, Senator Horatio Hardline, known for his staunch opposition to 'the unnatural influence of drag queens on our precious children,' has appointed the effervescent and extraordinarily talented Trixie Mattel-esque figure, 'Diamond DeVille,' as his new personal assistant. Hardline, who recently declared drag performances a 'gateway to socialism and the destruction of the nuclear family,' now relies on Diamond for everything from scheduling his appearances (likely to include a few anti-drag rallies) to coordinating his kale smoothie deliveries.

Sources close to the Senator (who, ironically, insists he only drinks ‘manly’ beverages like lukewarm tap water) say Hardline is 'absolutely thrilled' with Diamond's organizational skills. 'She’s remarkably efficient,' Hardline mumbled during a press conference, visibly flustered by the sheer fabulousness radiating from Diamond’s meticulously-crafted power suit. ‘She keeps me on schedule, and her colour coordination is impeccable. Besides, her wig game is stronger than my stance on traditional marriage.’

Critics, however, have pointed out the sheer comedic irony of the situation. One commentator, describing the scenario as a 'deliciously camp paradox,' stated, 'It’s like watching a reality TV show where the villain falls in love with the hero, only the hero is a shimmering testament to everything the villain supposedly despises.'

Meanwhile, Diamond, ever the professional, remains unfazed. 'Honey, if I can turn a conservative Senator into a fan of glitter, I can achieve world peace,' she sashayed, before adding, with a knowing wink, 'Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to remind the Senator that his appointment with the 'anti-drag' lobby has been moved to 3pm, due to a scheduling conflict with his weekly RuPaul’s Drag Race viewing party.' The internet, predictably, is having a field day with the memes. #HardlineHoney #DragWinsAgain #TuckedIn #Slay
