But its producer endorsed Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Good news for California taxpayers. The state may have a $68 billion deficit, but there’s still plenty of money to subsidize vanity Hollywood projects.
As Gov. Newsom and the state’s Democrat majority talk about doubling Hollywood film credits, among the over $300 million in handouts last year included ‘Ru Paul’s’ ‘Untitled Drag Queen Movie’ which received $1.7 million in tax credits.
With a $6.6 budget, that means California taxpayers are subsidizing 25% of a drag queen movie from a man with an estimated net worth of $60 million.
California taxpayers struggling to feed their families should be proud that their hard-earned money is being put to better use than they could ever manage on their own by funding ‘Untitled Drag Queen Movie’.
But let’s be fair here.
Ru Paul did endorse Gov. Gavin Newsom in a video posted on his World of Wonder productions site. Newsom is just returning the favor… and $1.7 million.
But California taxpayers would have just wasted the money buying food for their children.
