A group of drag queens and kings who crashed President Donald Trump’s first major Kennedy Center appearance Wednesday have spoken out about their experience. The drag queens and king were greeted with cheers as they entered the Kennedy Center for its opening performance of Les Misérables,

Mari Con Carne put on their make-up, wig and gown before attending “Les Miserables” at the Kennedy Center. Along with other Washington-based drag queens Tara Hoot, Ricky Rosé and Vagenesis, they attended the show despite complaints by President Donald Trump that the Kennedy Center had hosted too many drag shows in the past.

"We wanted to support the artists and bring attention to the drag ban at the Kennedy Center by showing up and being gorgeous."
