A former RuPaul’s Drag Race judge is getting major backlash after publicly endorsing Donald Trump for president and slamming Kamala Harris and her campaign.
“I would love to see an intelligent and capable woman President some day, Kamala Harris is not her,” Rice wrote on X.
“There’s only one obvious candidate to rebuild America and stabilize the rest of the world and that is President Donald J. Trump.”
Several RuPaul’s Drag Race queens have since rebuttled Rice’s comments. “You’re really unhinged” replied The Vivienne. Meanwhile, Drag Race UK winner Lawrence Chaney pulled a Mama Ru and told Rice to, “Sashay away.”

A more recent post included a collage of AI-generated image of Harris with a gun in her mouth and a screenshot of an article claiming children who received the COVID-19 vaccine were “4423% more likely to die”.
Prior to becoming a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race for its first six seasons, Rice competed as a contestant on Project Runway’s second season.
In a separate tweet, Rice also called Harris “r*tarded” is “offensive to r*tards.”
