A disturbing video making the rounds on social media has conservatives and patriots alike outraged.
A drag queen, performing at a New Orleans bar, staged a grotesque simulation of the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, an act many are calling outright criminal, as reported by The New York Post.
The footage, originally posted by Libs of TikTok, captures a drag performer donning a black cowboy-style hat and a leather outfit, forming their hands into the shape of a gun, first pointing at the audience before turning toward a screen.
The video playing on the screen? None other than the shocking moment President Trump was shot in the ear by a would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, during his July 13 rally.
With blatant disregard for decency, the performer mimicked pulling the trigger, appearing to reenact the attempt on Trump's life. To top it off, the entire sickening display was choreographed to Rihanna's song Man Down, featuring the pointed lyrics:
"I pulled out that gun."

If there were any doubt about the performer's intent, that erases it completely.
The venue where this disgraceful act took place remains unknown, but that hasn't stopped the backlash from rolling in.
Outraged viewers flooded social media, with many tagging federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and Secret Service, demanding they investigate what some view as a direct threat to the president's life.
"That is a direct threat! Arrest her now," one infuriated commenter wrote, echoing the sentiments of many who see this not as mere performance art but as incitement.
"This is just ridiculous. I don't care what side of the aisle you are on. Giving this type of lunacy a platform is disgusting and dangerous," another wrote under the viral post.
"Normally, I would say this is 'art' and covered under First Amendment rights, but this crosses the line in so many ways," a user with an American flag in their name added.
Of course, there were a few apologists attempting to defend the indefensible.
One contrarian quipped, "It's entertainment, folks. Lighten up. Remember, tolerance goes both ways now."
An interesting take from the same crowd that has spent years screeching about supposed "violent rhetoric" while turning a blind eye to leftist extremism.
Many online users were quick to point out that this isn't the first time deranged anti-Trump antics have taken center stage. Who could forget washed-up comedian Kathy Griffin's infamous 2017 stunt holding up a fake severed head of Trump?
Or Snoop Dogg's so-called "music video" that depicted the rapper mock-shooting a Trump lookalike? Interestingly, the rapper has since had a change of heart, even performing at one of Trump's inauguration celebrations earlier this year.
"We gotta learn to pick each other up instead of pulling each other down," Snoop Dogg said in response to leftist outrage over his recent performance. A lesson today's radical left would do well to learn.
As the Super Bowl heads to New Orleans this Sunday, President Trump is poised to make history as the first sitting commander-in-chief to attend the game.
One can only hope that real Americans will drown out the noise from unhinged leftists who think it's acceptable to glorify political violence.
