President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance attended a production of "Les Misérables" on Wednesday night where they were booed but a group of drag queens who attended the show were cheered by the audience.
The Advocate reported, "Tara Hoot, drag king Ricky Rosé, Vagenesis, and Maria Con Carne attended the show in formal regalia."
As they entered, the audience cheered.
