Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony is feeling the heat – in more ways than one – after receiving a public spanking from a drag queen. The now-viral moment took place at a Santa Clarita Valley Democrats event over the weekend. The event was open to ages 15 and up, but SCV Dems says no one under 18 was present.
It's not every day you see a mayor bend over and get paddled on the behind. You can watch the video for yourself here.
Anthony has served as mayor since December and is running against Kathryn Barger for L.A. County Supervisor next year. He’s a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and an advocate for defunding police, so this spanking incident has become the ultimate GOP fever dream.
Anthony is now being dragged all over conservative media. A recent headline on Fox Digital reads: "Democrat mayor spanked by drag queen wants to destroy police, prisons, claims Marxism is real 'American Dream'"
The mayor is not ashamed, and he won’t be bending over for his critics.
“There were some shenanigans, some silly stuff happened, it was all fun and games,” said Anthony. “Unbeknownst to the people in attendance, there was a secret video that was made and then shared to a very prominent hate group.”
In fact, Anthony is leaning into the controversy. His X bio now includes the hashtag #mayorspanky.
