Arrr, word be sailin' 'cross the seas 'bout a mighty event! A swashbucklin' drag queen, by the powers! Gave a good spankin' to a California mayor. Turns out, 'twas a jolly reward fer volunteers supportin' Democrat George Whitesides' campaign for Congress. Aye, the tales be wild indeed!
The Santa Clarita Valley Democrats organized a local fundraiser for the 2024 election, inviting a drag performer named "Roxy Wood." The event gained attention when a video went viral, showing Wood publicly spanking Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony with a paddle. Social media posts indicate that the event was promoted as a reward for those who had helped California Democrat candidate George Whitesides' campaign for Congress. Whitesides is running for a seat currently held by Republican Representative Mike Garcia.The fundraiser, called "Drag Queen Bingo," welcomed attendees of all ages, including minors. Free drink tickets were given to canvassers who had previously campaigned for the state party. While the event flyer stated that it was not suitable for children and allowed ages 15 and up, California law considers individuals under 18 as minors.
The event was specifically held for the canvassers who had campaigned for Whitesides and California state Senate candidate Kipp Mueller. Photos posted online showed Whitesides and Mueller canvassing with the group before the after-party. The Santa Clarita Valley Democrats referred to this gathering as their biggest fundraiser of the year.
After the video of Mayor Anthony being spanked received criticism, the Santa Clarita Valley Democrats deleted their wrap-up post about the event. Whitesides' campaign did not provide any comments regarding the incident.
It is worth noting that Whitesides was also present at an event for the Air and Space Forces of America Chapter 294. The Santa Clarita Valley Democrats issued a statement the day after the viral video, but no further details were provided.
