As the story took off on Twitter, Nessel backtracked the original comments, saying there were “in jest.” When Michigan GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon responded to Nessel’s drag queen comments, the attorney general fired back.
This is the most humorless take imaginable on a comment made in jest. I expect more from the star of Buddy BeBop vs the Living Dead.
Your benefactor, Betsy DeVos, has been a greater threat to school children in Michigan than drag queens have ever been. https://t.co/mdkDHxN7XU

Dixon didn’t take long to push back, asking Michigan’s top law enforcement officer to join her in criminalizing the involvement of “children in sexualized drag shows.”
Dana,
I’m calling out your party’s current efforts to normalize the sexualization of children.
And you have nothing meaningful to say.
So…
As the top law enforcement officer in Michigan, will you join me to criminalize involving children in sexualized drag shows?
Yes or no? https://t.co/53bP6lCziP

Dixon added, “When I am governor, schools will answer to local parents, not progressive activists, drag queens, and trans-supremacists. The days of radical activist politicians sexualizing our kids are over.”
