Randy Rainbow is the perfect antidote to the 'age of Trump' and its 'alternative facts'

I'm not completely familiar with this performer, Randy Rainbow, but I love this video. In the "age of Trump," we are going to seriously need comedy, we are seriously going to need satire, and we are seriously going to need to be "bitchy." I'm talking "Joan Crawford bitchy." And this video of Randy Rainbow taking on Kellyanne Conway about "alternative facts" fits the bill and then some. Yes it's a stereotype to say so, but sometimes it takes a queen . . .
