Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is facing criticism after she suggested there should be "a drag queen for every school."
She made the comment Wednesday during a "civil rights" summit in Lansing, reported TheBlaze. Nessel is the first openly gay person voted into statewide office in Michigan.
"Drag queens make everything better," she tweeted. "Drag queens are fun. A drag queen for every school."
Matt DePerno, the Republican candidate for attorney general, said "Dana Nessel continues to show just how completely out of touch she is with Michiganders."
DePerno also chastised Nessel for endorsing school lockdown measures during the COVID pandemic.
"Students in the third grade are behind on their reading. Our test scores are some of the worst in the country thanks to these disastrous COVID lockdowns, and she calls for drag shows for kindergartners," he said.
Tudor Dixon, the Republican candidate for Michigan governor, also criticized the comments.
"When I am governor, schools will answer to local parents, not progressive activists, drag queens, and trans-supremacists," Tudor tweeted. "The days of radical activist politicians sexualizing our kids are over."
Drag shows targeting children have exploded in recent months across the nation, with many parents expressing outrage both at the content of the shows and the fact that parents are kept in the dark about them.
Nessel made headlines early last year, TheBlaze noted, when she admitted to having been politically motivated when she pressed charges against a restaurant owner for ignoring the pandemic lockdown rules.
