Kimmel Gets Drag Queen to Read Ted Cruz’s New Book to Kids
Earlier this week, Ted Cruz officially became a four-time author with the publication of his new book Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.
To celebrate the occasion, Jimmy Kimmel decided to poke fun at the Texas senator’s anti-“woke” bona fides by inviting a drag queen onto his program to read excerpts of the book to kids—thumbing his nose at Cruz’s past statements on drag and the LGBTQ+ community.
Trixie Mattel, who originally competed on the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race then went on to win the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, did the honors while sporting a hot pink jumper and blonde hair.
