A California mayor has landed in hot water after going viral for getting spanked by a drag queen at a Democratic fundraiser, sparking a war of words over whether or not it was in front of kids. Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony was filmed bending over a table and laughing while being struck with a paddle wielded by the drag performer Foxxy Roxywood at the Santa Clarita Valley Democrats’ Drag Queen Bingo event. The footage has been viewed more than 7.6 million times as of Tuesday after being tweeted by Libs of TikTok, which claimed that the mayor “received a spanking from a drag queen in front of children.” Anthony, a newlywed dad whose online bio starts with his pronouns and the fact he is autistic, quickly hit back, sparking a war of words with the popular social media page. Anthony responded to the Libs of TikTok tweet saying there weren’t any children at this private 21+ event and asking them if they “care to explain the lie?” Undaunted by Anthony’s denial, Libs of TikTok produced a photo that it claimed depicted a child who joined the drag queen event. But the mayor insisted that the youngster in question was from a completely different event 11 hours earlier. Anthony was an improv comedian and actor for 20 years before going into local politics.
