WALSH: The People Applauding ‘Drag Kids’ Are Applauding The Sexual Abuse Of Children 

Matt Walsh

A video has recently gone viral (again) of “drag kid” Desmond Napoles hanging out on a couch with an adult cross dresser and joking about doing drugs. The child, who was about 9 years old at the time of the original livestream, appears visibly intoxicated while he pretends to snort ketamine off the back of his hand. In another viral clip, Desmond can be seen sitting with a man named Michael Alig who was convicted of beating another man to death and cutting up his body.

These videos are just two in a whole catalogue of disturbing clips involving this young boy — the most disturbing of which must be Desmond’s 2018 “performance” at a gay club in Brooklyn. The grown men in attendance can be seen hooting, hollering, and throwing dollar bills at the child as he dances for them. This is perhaps only slightly less grotesque than the time when a different drag kid posed with a nude adult male for a magazine shoot.
