Photos of U.S. Senator JD Vance allegedly dressed in drag at a 2012 Halloween party during his time at Yale Law School have resurfaced, leading to widespread criticism. The images, shared online, show Vance wearing a blonde wig, a shirt, and a skirt.\n\n\n\n
The controversy began when Matt Bernstein posted the photos on X, with the caption: \u201cnew: i have obtained a photo of jd vance in drag while at yale law school.\u201d Travis Whitfill, who provided the photos, confirmed their authenticity, stating, \u201cThis was taken in 2012\u2026 Photo was taken by a classmate and sent to me.\u201d\n\n\n\n
As the images went viral, they became the subject of online mockery, with one user joking, \u201cFeelin\u2019 cute. Might run for Vice President later.\u201d Others, however, defended Vance, arguing that the photos were being misrepresented. One user pointed out, \u201cPeople consider putting on a wig at a college party as drag? That\u2019s an insult to my drag friends.\u201d\n\n\n\n
Critics focused on Vance\u2019s perceived hypocrisy rather than the act itself. One user wrote, \u201cCall him a hypocrite and a bigot for demonizing others who wear drag,\u201d highlighting the contradiction between the photos and Vance\u2019s public stance on drag.\n\n\n\n
