In a stunning turn of events that has left the nation simultaneously gasping and vogueing, Senator Bartholomew Buttercup, known for his staunch opposition to 'the rainbow menace,' has been exposed as the mastermind behind a series of canceled drag events... only to unveil himself as the surprisingly fierce drag king, 'King Konga.'

Buttercup, who recently declared drag performances 'a threat to the very fabric of society' (and possibly his collection of porcelain unicorns), orchestrated the cancellation of three local drag brunches, citing concerns about 'inappropriate exposure of minors' – despite the fact that all events were 21+. Sources say he was particularly upset by the inclusion of a 'gender-fluid interpretive dance' that he described (between clenched teeth) as 'too much interpretive dance'.

However, last night, under the cloak of darkness and a suspicious amount of glitter, King Konga emerged. Footage leaked to social media shows a surprisingly agile Buttercup, sporting a magnificent beard (allegedly acquired from a 'very generous Amish friend'), fishnet stockings (apparently 'a fashion statement,' according to his spokesperson), and a surprisingly accurate Beyoncé impression. The performance, described as a 'masterclass in sassy subversion,' concluded with Konga triumphantly ripping off his wig to reveal... Senator Buttercup.

The internet has exploded with reactions, ranging from bewildered confusion to furious outrage from conservative groups, whose social media pages are now flooded with photos of King Konga’s impressively toned thighs. One commentator wrote, "This is peak performative hypocrisy! He's literally appropriating the very culture he's trying to suppress!". Another simply posted, "Damn, Konga's got legs for days!"
