Drag Queens Viciously Mock Melania Trump, Erika Kirk, and Other Right-Wing Figures at Sold-Out Brooklyn ‘Parody’ Show That Raked in Over $25K for the ACLU (VIDEOS)
A Brooklyn drag show turned into a full-scale mockery of conservative figures, including First Lady Melania Trump and the widow of slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, while raising more than $25,000 for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The event, held last month at the 3 Dollar Bill gay bar in Bushwick, drew over 1,000 attendees and featured 10 drag performers lip-syncing and acting out exaggerated parodies of high-profile right-wing personalities.
Organizers billed it as “I Want You for Turning Point U.S. Gay,” and said it was a “Right-Wing Parody Show for Charity.”
The name, of course, was a deliberate jab at the conservative organization Turning Point USA.
Lead organizer and performer Kiki Ball-Change, who portrayed Melania Trump, defended the show as political satire.
“The goal isn’t to diminish women, it’s to challenge power, expose the blatant hypocrisy, and create space for audiences to laugh, think, and respond,” Ball-Change said.

The organizer also stated that “drag has always been political” and framed the night as a response to what they called “repressive, authoritarian anti-LGBTQ+ policies.”
Gogo boys dressed in U.S. flag outfits danced onstage while a large screen projected waving American flags.
One of the most pointed performances came from drag performer Lauren Banall, who portrayed Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk and current CEO of Turning Point USA.
Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck and killed during a Utah campus event in September. Not long after, Banall began impersonating his widow in viral videos posted to social media.
Banall entered the event slowly, holding a lit lighter, then dramatically used eye drops to fake tears before wiping them with a handkerchief.
The act was set to a melancholic ballad titled “We Are Charlie Kirk,” with the crowd reportedly cheering as it began.
Other performers included:
- Brita Filter as MAGA musician Nicki Minaj
- Marti Gould Cumming as former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
- Plasm as former Attorney General Pam Bondi
- Miss Ma’amshe as former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)
- Bertha Vanayshun as anti-LGBTQ+ commentator Candace Owens
- Maxxx Pleasure as MAGA musician Kid Rock
- Alvah Klempt as disgraced MAGA attorney Rudy Giuliani
- Uncle Freak as former New York City Mayor Eric Adams
The show mainly targeted Turning Point USA and what organizers described as “conspiracy theories about trans people.”
A couple weeks ago a fundraising event was held for the ACLU in NYC.
The event featured drag queens cosplaying as Erika Kirk, Melania Trump, and others.
The event centered around mocking Charlie Kirk and making fun of his widowed wife.

New York State Assemblymember Claire Valdez also spoke at the event about “trans rights.”
The fundraiser ultimately brought in over $25,000 for the ACLU.
